Lines in the Sky?

If anyone is interested, there is now a public telescope (Better then Google Sky) that Microsoft can allow anyone to access from there computers. You must first download it ( Google search: Microsoft World Wide Telescope); and if you notice ,once you have the telescope loaded, there are tabs right above your screen. One reads "View". Within this View tab there is a "observing location" field, and within this field there is a set up button right below. However if you change your location to Puente Alto, Chile and enter Lat: -33:36:51 Long: -70:33:58 Alt: 710m. There are bright sort of red lights running diagonally. Can anyone tell what it is?

I havnt checked the location where you said, But i was using the software and i spotted some strange lines that looked kinda like those red-and-white-striped candy canes you find at christmas. Same thing?

I am a Mac so imagine my sadness in discovering that Microsoft are to busy optimizing this program for the PC that their is no Mac OS in development! No!!!! Cool post...

I have a question,"Are you able to capture screenshots or anything like that?"

Negative, as a matter of fact if you enter those coordinates and zoom further in you can see 3 red circles. I cant tell? I doubt them being dwarf planets though.

Negative as well to you sir. However I am trying to figure out a way, I just downloaded this program not to long ago so I'm still exploring its pros and cons.

Just use the printscreen button on your keyboard.
Wasn't the same question posted a few days ago about red lines in WWT? Can't find the thread.
