The 'celeste' functionality in the current hugin trunk should be 
very good at removing these 'sky' control points.

Another technique that works with bracketed images is to only set 
control points on the most exposed set, where the sky is blown-out.  
This is what the match-n-shift --stacks option does when it finds a 
bracketed series.

This is really a manual workaround for problems in current image 
matching systems, the best solution is for control point generation 
to become much faster and much more accurate.
