Biomes Sun Clouds
Fog and LOD Tweaks v2.6
Not being satisfied with the current implementation of several environmental behaviours / effects this mod aims to improve some of these features. 

Day Length can be altered to suit your own preferences. The default is 30 Minutes (NMS Time) day/night cycle. There are now various versions available with different time ratios for Day Length as shown below.

TIME RATIOS
30Mn =  1800 (game/script default)
01Hr  =  3600
03Hr  = 10800
06Hr  = 21600
09Hr = 32400
12Hr  = 43200
24Hr  = 86400

Clouds have been overhauled for more coverage and detail (alternative curves available in the Lua script), slower animation speed and colour bias.
Sun properties have been altered for brightness, saturation, MIE factor and fixes sun clamp angle.
Sun Size in Space is reduced to give the illusion of it being a great distance away rather than very close. 
Planet Fog strength has been increased slightly for a bit more immersion.
Some small but noticeable LOD changes (you can adjust this in script).
Reduces slightly chances of Binary and Ternary Stars
Light Shaft properties have been tweaked for visual appeal.
Bloom has been removed via PIPELINES/PIPELINEDEFERRED.BIN

Where possible / appropriate I have kept all original values for reference.
