I didn't (not that I was aware of anyway.)

may have identified the issue. Last night I hooked up my laptop to polar align with Sharpcap first, and had massive issues with that too. In fact the symptoms were almost identical to those I had with the ASI Air - it would just keep sending me on a wild goose chase of corrections before eventually failing to platesolve at all.
After 20 minutes or so I realised that my laptop clock had reset to 2AM in October 2021 for some reason (rather than ~7PM in May). I fixed this and magic - quickly polar aligned to ~10sec of error.
Now, my ASIAir operates completely independently of the laptop. I never saw an option to configure the timezone and assumed it would just use the location of the linked iOS device to determine this, but perhaps not? Is this a setting I need to change?
