Thanks.

Sure, how else would media interact with lights? But actually,
its the other way round: those lightsources that shouldn't
affect the bowl have media-attenuation off
(which works quiet well even with the moonlight, cause
the outside clouds are still stacked-planes, wanted to keep
some tradition in the image).

It already is a pretty sharp contrast going from no density (rgb 0) to
some density (rgb something), as I actually wanted to have the
clouds look a little brushed out. I'm thinking about given them
some shearing effect, to simulate some sort of wind.
Also, I've noticed I could raise absorption and emission some more,
which would enhance the shadowing effect some more. I don't want
true sharp shadowlines, but a little more effect might be nice.
