The new Synscan Beta is interesting in how it now displays Polaris time as a clock face position on the Polar scope. Totally useless for us, but interesting all the same.

This is good. How do you input the time into the computer from the app?
I need very accurate time for The SPADES research program so the time stamp needs to be automatic

Terry, I have not gone EqMod yet, so I enter the time on the Synscan controller - it does HMS, so can get it pretty accurate.

I check my laptop often against it too, and maybe out 15 seconds or so - never significantly large error.
