OK just having a read on the EQMOD yahoo groups and it looks like LST is actually Local Sidreal Time (DOH!! - Not Last Time which is what I assumed) however it is weird that SNP goes to the night time view (as opposed to the normal day time view) when I connect (just checked it and the sun is in the same position so it looks like going to the night view - i.e seeing stars etc. - is a supposed to happen - i.e it appears the view is correct).
Hmmmmmmm, never mind me
