[Kokatha man]

Hi again Craig - I've read the comments in the other thread re the daylight saving but didn't comment in my reply on that thread: however, although as I've said I still haven't got round to installing any upgrades on my HEQ5 SynScan V3.0 (but I'm taking note, and my time, about your's, Alan's and others comments on different upgrade version points) but as someone who's still doing the EST zone thingy and adding half an hour to my times, I have been saying "yes" to daylight savings in my setup. (some people's comments about it being the wrong times of year in the display/program for us in the southern hemi doubly puzzles me - it asks for DST on my screen during the appropriate months!)

Got out there last night with the aim of sharpening my polar alignment/goto/tracking and managed a few hours before the clouds took over - punched DST in during setup (along with TMZone +10 and DST and did a 3 star alignment and found the goto working really well: must've been a reasonable polar align 'cos then I put it onto tracking Mars as I started packing stuff away (I view from a platform above the trees in my backyard) and when I came back a half hour later Mars had only moved off-centre by a smidgin - lvw 17mm giving 70 odd mags.

Work that out - I dunno, but I just do what I can, learn/absorb from others comments and build on my own but I can't comment on your question except to tell you my experience. Cheers, Darryl.
