Default Horizon Line Needed in Starry Night 7

Great program to simulate sky views but stangely lacks the obvious
ability to show the horizon line. Just shows only "scenery" views for
the horizon.

Is there an ocean scenery option? That would do the same job.

Good thinking, but no there isn't

Have you tried downloading Stellarium. It's free for PC and very good?Even
the iPhone app has an ocean option. The PC option is much more
sophisticated then the phone/tablet version.

Starry Night Pro Plus 7 on Mac OS: Options Other Options Local
Horizon. Choose "Custom," but do not bother with "Edit | Edit Custom
Horizon." Under Opacity choose Opaque, Translucent, or Outline as you
prefer. I use "Outline" because I only want to see the horizon line.

Consider TheSkyX Professional Edition. Mac and Windows, highly
customizable.

Do your Options look anything like this? :

Can you post a link to the manual for your software?
