This is exactly what JC suggested (one page previous) and I've been thinking it about it for the last couple of days. To implement this, I could move the bearing tool and ship name so they're above the crosshair, out of the way, then move all the marking lines below it, but, there'd still be problems.
1) You'd have to close the recognition manual to get the range. This alone is enough reason for me not to implement the change, but...
2) You'd also need to re-align the marks after getting range to then get the AOB (as it is now, no re-alignment is required).

That's two extra steps in the process, and just one would be enough for me to say no to the change. So, having given this some thought, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to implement it.

If anyone can suggest a way that does not require the recognition manual to be closed, and which does not mean adding more steps to the process, I'm all ears.

So for now we're back to the blue line. I've tried different diagonals in-game and like this one best (note: this is WIP):
