Thank you for this!
Is this just a personal project? Is there any intention to incorporate this into some official blender branch and in some future within official master?

Yes the goal is to make it for Blender 2.90.
You can already try it here
Note, builds update at midnight Canada time.

Added Limb Darkening for Sun disc!!
The effect is exaggerated here, but if you zoom close to the sun disc you would actually see it!

Hi, very nice project.
I would like to build it on my system, is the branch up to date with the master of Blender Foundation?
Cheers, mib

Hey, no need to build

Yeah but I am on Linux.
I have a Windows disk, I can test there.
Thanks, mib
Hi.
I think this is the repository:
https://github.com/macio97/blender/tree/new-sky-texture
Edit:
I think I have successfully built like this:
Enter the official blender git folder and do:
git remote add blender https://github.com/macio97/blender.git
git checkout -b new-sky-texture
git pull blender new-sky-texture
Now compile/build as usual.
In the second step “-b” option is only necessary the first time. Then you can just use “git checkout new-sky-texture”

I’ve never done linux builds before so unsure how well they will work, but if anyone wants to have a go at it:

Wow, this thread is awesome for new surprises. Not sure what will come next. Inferior mirage, mock mirage, green flashes? LOL. Seriously just kidding, this work is beautiful.
