I've just updated from V3.12 to V3.23.
The controller appears to take the timezone to 2 decimal places precision.
What I does with that is to be seen (waiting for the clouds to bugger off)
I expect (hope) the 1st alignment star should be a lot closer.
I've always found the 1st alignment star to be consistently distant requiring substantial centering and I have suspected the timezone to be the cause. The second and third stars are always closer and I've had no problems with the mount/handpiece slewing to objects, generally within my 20mm eyepiece. (certainly in my case most my problems stemmed from mount levelling issues until I made a levelling plate so I could use a bubble level AFTER the scope was mounted)
I'm also trying EQMOD with the new firmware using the PC-Direct mode, tried it in the lounge and it seemed to drive the scope fine.
