Seems to me I recall it said that 'sky_sphere' doesn't work with the
Alpha Channel, and I didn't think 'background' would at all. Hmmm....
I know that if you use a 'fisheye' camera that the unused portion of the
image rendered will be seen as transparent with apparently no control
over it I believe, but I could be wrong.
Glad you are getting it figured out anyway, unlike me.
