OK, I created a very large sphere with a pigment and color_map in many
similarities to yours. Unfortunately, the clouds always show up as dark.
What tweaking is necessary to lighten them up?
And I realize that my tutorial, which I downloaded with POV-ray for Windows
v3.5 told me something that seemed a bit off, but now I realize that the
tutorial meant a literal "sphere," not a "skysphere."
