All skies go to marble/data/skies.

For example, Atoll will have its own folder within skies as follows:

marble/data/skies/atoll

That atoll folder will contain 6-8 pictures and a .dml file.


Longer (and more confusing) explanation:

The mission file will be of help here actually since it tells you exactly where the dml file must be located.
Under the new sky(Sky) datablock, look for:
materialList
This will indicate where the dml goes. For example:
"~/data/skies/Beginner/Beginner_Sky.dml";
Meaning that the entire Beginner skies folder, with the dml inside it, go into skies/ folder. Inside the Beginner folder there will be a Beginner_Sky.dml file which is what the game will take and arrange the skies accordingly to the dml file.
