The scheduler in Ekos should be indipendent from the time in Kstars. Currently, it is better use system time or make it a configurable option.

When scheduling, I use the 'x > degrees above the horizon' often. To fill in x, I advance the time in Kstars a few hours to seeif this would work, that particular night.
I left the time as it was, not knowing the scheduler actually uses that.
So the schedule was messed up.

Another 'solution' (workaround/ patch) is to set the Kstars time to 'time now' right when the scheduler is started.
Then still, the user shouldn't change the time in Kstars during the session, so not a very good option, imho.

Hope this can be fixed!
Cheers guys!

When an Ekos profile is started, time is synced from the system time.

Hmm, thanks! I'll check then what happened, because I remember the problem I encountered did go away after I set Kstars to 'Time - Now'.
Cheers,
