OK, WA, NT and Qld don't use DST but it's just one more thing to confuse issues.
Maybe one of you can come up with a good explanation.

Gemini 2 with the attached GPS sets it. I don't. The problem is that it sets it to -8Hr and so when you do a goto to say Sirius, the mount starts going to somewhere below the horizon. This why I think Gem 2 uses the timezone.
I must be missing something but the mount surely needs to know the offset from GMT unless it can work it out from the longitude.
If I can avoid using the GMT offset for Gem 2, please let me know as I don't really need the local time.
