-edited because it's too early for me to remember the difference between the formulas for area and circumference-
To put it in perspective, if the Sphere is 1AU (can't remember exactly if it is or not) away from Zeta Cygni, then it's circumference is roughly 300 million km. Comparatively, the earth's diameter is 12,756.3 km. The curvature would be so gradual that on the inside of the sphere you probably wouldn't be able to see far enough to see where it starts curving up anyways, especially at night, not to mention all the magic that Cianbro worked there.
