Meade's Mysky
Hi
I got me one of those new fangled star finding gadgets the Meade released about a week ago. Boy they sure work if you can get a GPS fix.
I got mine last week but could not get a GPS fix for a couple of days so I tried the manual entry. I followed the directions but when I tried to identify the stars it was nowhere near, like 160 degrees out so I put it away till the next day.
I eventually got a GPS fix on the third day and noticed that the time on the screen was UTC.
The next time I tried the manual set up I set it to UTC instead of local and it worked perfectly. I read and re-read the manual but I could not see any directions to use UTC so I don't know whether I have faulty software or what. In any case it is a nice toy.
