What about all those other round (and half circle) windows seen fleetingly in the dining room scene and out side the room? No one notice those?
If anything, I think that the sky in the original window is too hazy. Otherwise, I think that the quick mockup is too desaturated, wrong angle, too sharp, too many buildings etc. as has been previously pointed out.
I think that the sky should resemble the sky from the scene with Leia in the window and it has only a little haze in the distance.
About the time of the arrival:

Either way, all the action at Cloud City after their arrival takes place over a single day — same day if they arrive at sunrise, next day if they arrive at sunset.
I disagree. It must have been different days. I think at least three days .. if the days are as long as on earth.
Leia complains about not having heard of C-3PO for a long while. Han is later tortured for a long while, Lando and Vader argue and Han gets frozen all before Luke arrives - while the sun is still up. This means that if all that had happened on the same day, then Han and Leia would have met Vader for Lunch.
1. The time between early morning and lunch is not long enough time for Chewie to start worrying and go and search for C-3PO and then find C-3PO at the most unlikely spot. Chewie would have taken more time to wait for C-3PO to show up by himself, and then take longer time to search for the droid.
2. The repairs may take some time. We have already seen that they were difficult. If they took only a couple of hours to complete, then they would have been done already.
3. Why would Lando say "You truly belong here with us
among the clouds." to a girl that he has just met? He is smooth, but not that smooth to pull that off.
The script mentions the time-of-day of the arrival as "dawn". However, the SE throws that around by inserting the longer landing sequence. In that sequence, most of the buildings windows are lit. I find it more likely that the windows would be lit at dusk than in the very very very early morning. I also get the impression that the sky is darker on the platform than when Millenium Falcon is in the clouds.
To me, an arrival at dusk would also carry the symbolism that their chase is over.
Later, I think that the preparation of the carbon freezing chamber, Han's torture, Chewie's work on the droid and Luke's flight would take some time.
