Hello,

I've just received an Astro-Phyics AP900GTO CP3.

Coming from the Gemini controller and others before that, it's always a new
learning curve one faces with the new menu layout, concepts behind it and the way to input information.

In advance, I have read through the various manuals a couple of times, however, it seems in one ear and out the other at the moment.

I have two sets of questions I was hoping anyone could help me answer:

1. TIME ZONE: I cannot figure this one out. I'm in Melbourne Australia, which is +10 from GMT. But I see Hawaii is listed in the examples at "10", but Hawaii is -10 isn't? What should I use for +10 GMT?


2. I see the manual input of location is quite easy for the GTO, but I wonder if a GPS can be connected directly to one of the serial ports of the GTO? If so, is there a guide somewhere on the net how to do this? Or am I limted to uploading this information from the PC? Can I use Starry Night 6 Pro for this purpose?


Thanks kindly for any help, bye now.

Steve
