Space Just Got Real Less Dark

Update: Still works fine with 1.199 :)

This is a little modification I made for our server, so the skybox is just a tad bit less dark. As we had lots of accidents because no one could see contours and textures of planetary/asteroid surfaces.

It should now be possible to see better contours and textures of any shape, while not making lights obsolete or useless, like most other standard skyboxes. It still keeps the feeling of dark and menacing space & nights alive. The added screenshots only give a rough impression due to image compression, you have see it in-game to really feel the difference :)

TODO: Need to check how it works with the new weather effects.

Many thanks at the original author Dr. Novikov for the heavy lifting and the creation of this wonderful skybox in the first place!
