Hi vash,

Actually I was thinking that there was something wrong with date as it all went crazy at the end of October. I even tried to change timezone to +11 to fix it but it didn't help. I had no idea then that it's also affected by DST setting working improperly.

I also can recall the similar problem with Celestron Nextstar SE mount. It's like EQ6 stopped working properly at the same period of year but those days I thought that I did something terrible wrong with my mount :-)

It's shame on IT guys who've developed remote controls software, built in DST function in it for us to help with DST but completelly forgotten about it in case of using it in Southern hemisphere :-)

Thanks for reminder to switch it back but I guess it reminds about it itself when it goes carzy again :-)

cheers,

Michael

P.S. I'm sorry that I put this thread in a wrong section. Didn't think much of it when I created it. I guess it should be in "Equipment" section.
