So I played around with the Alignmaster settings, and found that if I entered 9.5 in the "Time" box, it did indeed change the LMST by 30 min! (and now reads the correct UT, whereas before it was 30 min off after reading from my system clock). And, happily, the program holds this new LMST when I go to the alignment stars.
If I quit the program, it resets Time Zone to 10, unfortunately, but that just means I need to remember to set it each time I start the program.
I strongly suspect this 30 min time offset error to LMST/UT was my problem. But I won't be able to verify this until the next clear night!
It'd still be good to hear from others that may have run into this issue.
