Hi Fahim. When you set up your site (go to Edit|Resources) you can configure the horizon graphically. You define the skyline in effect, either by using the mouse or connecting to your scope (assuming a goto/pushto system) and simply pointing the scope at points along your horizon and building it up that way. Works great. See page 42 of the manual. The horizon then shows up on the FOV screen as in my screenshot.
