As far as I am concerned, the Sky Dome looks like a perfect hemisphere with 50 km (or 80 km, if you prefer imperial measures) wherever you look at it - probably even wrt parallax.
The most interesting question is the location of items below the star/sky dome, like the Red Moon (the lowest of the stellar bodies, unless you count the Zenith), the planets, special phenomena (Orlanth's Ring, the Juggernaut) and the sun.
I don't know if this works with the bendy light theory, but it works with the current agreement on the horizon.
