Feature request: more sky, less landscape (horizon elevation)

I hereby like to bring up an idea (feature request) which was originally requested here:

http://sourceforge.net/p/stellarium/discussion/278769/thread/f3ec2c36/

I know that there are not so many users who commented on it but until now all people were in favor of this idea. I really think it would be an improvement and an asset! Therefore, I think it's worth for developers to look into it...

Thanks
Trost
