Hi
What sort of LX200 is it? Classic, GPS, R or ACF? I own the R version which comes with GPS and automatically downloads time and location from several satillites. I always set the daylight savings to off and the scope sets itself using UT. If you set the location manually you should have a choice of locations of the nearest cities to you in the software under select location, just pick the right one or type in your coordinates as given by google earth or a good map. Make sure the time you set is local time e.g. am/pm option and you should be right. Align on stars either side of the meridian using a high power eyepiece (9mm illuminated retcle is best) and Bob's your uncle, it should be good to go. Also it pays to update software on the controller from the meade site if you have the chance.
