Hi Hemi,
+9.5 hours appears to be right, so maybe the problem is with the latitude and longitude?
I'm not familiar with your Celestron system but when I set up my Skywatcher Star Discovery controller I initially had problems with latitude and longitude because there was a small section that I could barely see which had to be set in order for it to know whether the figures I input referred to the northern or southern hemisphere, and west or east. I had been confused by the manual outlining two different setup systems, leading me to think that the hemisphere thing had already been established, when it hadn't...
The default was the northern, so I had to change N to S, and also W to E for it to register where I was. The first couple of time through the menus I simply didn't see it (there was other stuff on the lines if I recall correctly). When I specifically went hunting for it I was able to spot it and make the changes. After that it worked fine.
Could there be a similar issue with yours perhaps?
Good luck.
Chris
