I finally got my CGEM to talk to my computer via a Keyspan USB serial adaptor. My question is this..
I set my mount up with a StarGPS add on module which gave the correct UT time (according to astroplanner on my other computer), then unplugged it to plug in my USB connection for the computer to hand box doodad, but when I look at the Sky X screen and it says synched with computer time, the time on the screen is an hour earlier than my actual computer clock. I tried to change it manually but when I reconnect it goes back to the same time difference so I must be missing something here. It was the same before DST as well.
Advice please.
