Just another weird 'Thunkin' thought
When firing up my/the/your Neq6p or other mount, as most know with most mounts, I presume, it ask's for your time zone, which here Goldcoast/Eastern Aus in +10 hrs, Ok !
So, prior in the 'start-up' procedure, we inject the Lat/Long data, & go to lengths to have these values rather accurate, ie, GPS locations can be accurate to within 10mtrs for argument sake, ok, then We inject the Date & Time to the Minute, right !
Well, Iv'e always thunk - How accurate 'Eastern Aus' is the input of entering the +10hr - when realistically as the Earth rotates, through the timezones, the +10hrs at that instant of time is actually some several hundred kilometers off the east coast, here in SE QLD for this example !
So, theoretically, and roughly, going by the attached image, would it be not wise to say, I would need to wait some 15-20 or so minutes for that +10hr timeline to be, say, overhead or on the Gold Coast ? ?
Hence, when entering the time into the mount - would it be advantageous to take off 15-20 minutes, or for better understanding, set the time 15-20 minutes prior to actual current time of start-up in an attempt to better set the mounts parameters
Therefore, may find the initial 1st star alignment and subsequent star alignments more accurately and in turn, the mount be more accurate ??
Further discussion and/or input could be interesting
