Anyone found blue skies yet?

Just wondering if anyone had already found a blue sky planet, like Frontier showcased in the Odyssey gameplay demo? I know it's still early. If there's a thread where this has already been found, please point me there.

EDIT: Better question - has anyone gone to the same planet from the gameplay demo, on the daytime side as close to 'noon' as you can approximate, and if so what does it look like?

Thanks!

One of the first atmospheric planets I landed on was one with a blue sky with a greenish tint to it.

Taygeta 12B has beautiful blue skies with a B Class Star and orbits a Class L ring Dwarf CMDR!

Seen a few blue skies, but probably not an exact match to the gameplay trailer (which some people have been going on about in the forums).

The gameplay demo was stamped as “pre-alpha engine” and was a demo of gameplay. It seems unlikely that a pre-alpha version of the engine that supports gameplay has a planetary engine that matches the release version of the planetary tech. (If it did, why didn’t the public alpha have that final version of the planetary tech?)

The preview cinematic trailer looked like any number of planetary skies, even from the alpha.

I landed on a couple of planets with a "bubble" around it on the galaxy map, but it's been disappointment after disappointment.

Does anyone know a pretty planet near Sol, or at least have any guidelines on what to look for?

There’s some planets posted in the screenshot thread.

I think you want planets with as dense atmosphere as possible (max we can land on is 0.1 atmospheres), and close to a relatively bright star. After that, it depends on the atmosphere type.

A lot of the landable planets are frozen, dark rocks, with 0.00 atmospheres when rounded down.
