Looking everywhere and can't figure out what the orage line means in Sky Tools 4 Nightbar (see attached)

 

I'm sure its something simple, but it's eluding me.

 

Thanks

The orange line is the total visibility of the object. The blue line is the best  visibility. The fact you have a steep cut off suggests you may have a dobsonian and you have set the Dob hole, either that or you have a very obstructed horizon..

Ok great thank you. I think this was on my Alt/Az setup so that is probably the issue. I wasn't seeing this on my GEM setup so that makes sense now.
