Bruce suggested I add the photo to Dropbox so here is the link to one of the
photos that has blue sky. I am not sure why the JPEG version looks way
better than the DNG/RAW version of the file. I am beginning to think it is
perhaps my monitor and if it is then I will not be able to get a new one
until next year.

opened in Aperture with the default conversion; i see no banding in the sky, just a little normal-looking noise when i pixel peep

the symptoms you describe could be from using a TN monitor, or from using a display system that's using "thousands" instead of "millions" of colors; in some cases (e.g. certain Apple laptops) this won't be reflected in the settings -- it claims millions but delivers less -- but i think it should be explicit for external monitors -- what does Displays prefpane say? (the refresh rate is generally irrelevant)

it could also be from using an analog input on a digital monitor -- how is your monitor connected? what model of computer?
