I have a need for a remote connection so I have tried out a travel router. I am connected to it's network with my MacBook Pro.

Every time I connect to Ekos the time is off. I can readjust the time in KStars but it apparently also is creating chaos with my mount. At least one evening the mount did not park at it's allotted time and the mount hit my tripod. Now when I attempt a GoTo move the mount thinks that it needs to do a Meridian flip. The last time imaging I had to disable the Meridian Flip as GoTo was hung up with the Meridian Flip confusion.

Is there a good way of making the Raspberry Pi understand what the time actually is?

I read somewhere where Jasem suggested that the Stellarmate Controller included RTC. What is the Stellarmate Controller? How would this be enabled?

Would this problem be alleviated by using the Stellarmate App?

Would it work (still using the travel router) to have the software driven on my MacBook instead of being driven by the Pi unit?

Any other ideas?
