Hullo Windshift,

Your issue may be time.

South Australia resides in Universal Time Zone 9 (GMT + 9hrs), yet time in SA is actually GMT + 9.5hrs. I don't think that the software is configured to allow for this this difference.

So, presuming that you have everything else correct, at the prompt enter time zone 9, and enter SA time minus 30min; eg for SA time 2000hrs (8.00pm) enter 1930hrs (7.30pm). Then the true zone 9 time will mean something to the computer.

This fits with previous (pretty clever!) discussion regarding the moon?

I discovered this little trick while wandering around the back blocks of SA with my Celestron.........

All the best!
