This is probably a dumb question but what’s the heavy orange line rising from left to right?

The star makes up part of Gemini, so I think it was part of drawing in that constellation, but Gemini continues past the bright star (at least Stellarium thinks so).

Just curious, it’s not really a problem, just looked a bit odd.

Constellation lines. You can check it in PI, since it's the same.

Thanks. I guess it has to be, but I didn’t understand why it didn’t continue thru and out the frame if it’s the constellation.
