The computer that needs accurate time runs XP and meteor capture software. My main computer is dual boot XP and Millennium. Sometimes I boot to XP other times to Millennium depending what programs I want to run. I use Atomic Time from Free Labs to adjust time on both computers. Many times I noticed after synch time on both machines that there was one to three sec difference between them. I think it is caused by delays between the timeserver and data reaching my computers. It does not really matter on main computer but I need as accurate time as possible for Meteor capture computer. I use same GPS unit to set time automatically on my two Meade Autostar controlled telescopes and when I check time that GPS inserts in Autostar it seems to be accurate to 1 second. Therefore I though that GPS would give me more accurate time then Timeserver.

I did not know I can do time refresh on XP without additional software(one learns something new all the time). I will try it to see how accurate it is. Thanks
