Is there a way to set the sky_sphere in a scene and have it show up in 
reflections, but not in the sky when alpha channels are turned on? I 
think I asked this once before but I don't remember the answer.

Have you read through F. Lohmueller's pages to see if you find any inspiring
ideas?

IIRC Povray has changed how it behaves since version 3.6. I don't know 
how old that page is.

I was just thinking along the lines of not using sky_sphere, but using a plain
old sphere primitive and seeing where that gets you.
