Expect evenings get darker sooner for northern hemisphere residents, while the planetary action remains in the dawn sky. Sunday won’t fall on November 1 st again until 2020.

Coming the day after Halloween, 2015 was the earliest we can now shift back off Daylight Saving Time. Disable (uncheck) 'Export coordinates to ASCOM. The only way to eliminate these problems is to change these settings:Ģ. When APT connects to the mount, there is a message at the bottom: Cannot set Latitude. Export PC time to ASCOM' is enabled, then the RA of an object sync'ed with Autostar II is reduced by 4 hours (as displayed by Autostar II).
Under 'Location' tab in settings, if 'Export coordinates to ASCOM. The same problem happens when APT connects to the mount. This does not happen when DST is disabled.
If DST is enabled and I sync on a star, its RA is reduced by 1 hour.įor instance, RA of Altair (19h50m) is reduced to 18h50m. The local time is correct only when DST is disabled. When I enable DST in Autostar II, the local time shown after GPS sync is incorrect, 1 hour ahead of the actual time. in general, it works well with APT but there are problems with time/location settings.įor starters, there seems to be a problem with Autostar II.
