Need some inspiration here - been thinking about a solution to a simple problem, but can't get my brain engaged.

Here's what I'm doing - I'm making a cloud layer by texturing a ghosted plane, positioning it above the camera and scrolling the texture:



Looks just how I want it, except as you can see, where the edge of the cloud layer finishes, the skysphere behind it suddenly changes appearance. I know that by lowering the cloud layer, this 'band' will get thinner, but to eliminate this band totally, the cloud layer would have to be lowered to no height at all, thereby defeating the whole point! Any ideas?

<edit> Well, I've improved it by using a png with an alpha channel for the clouds, and setting transparency on, but you can still definitely see the edge. Hmmmm ..........

Thanks, although I'd already done that. Nevertheless, with a bit of fiddling with the alpha channel, I've got it good enough so that I can live with it:
