Andrew, so 10Micron uses LX200 and it queries <strong>Local</strong> date and time, then using the offset received from the mount, it generates the UTC time. If you turn off auto connect in your equipment profile, this allows logging to be enabled before connection to the mount is established. Then connect by pressing "Connect" and then the log should show what time/offset are received from the mount itself. The log you attached doesn't show this info yet.


Interesting, I would have never figured that out. When I put all the correct information into my mount, UTC offset -6 for Central Time (Houston Texas). Currently observing DST (DST On). KStars somehow is off by 1 hour. So I have to turn DST off on the mount, then Kstars displays the correct time. So maybe Kstars is adjusting for DST itself?
