Hello Jasem


Thanks for the reply.I do not have an RT clock in my rpi4, I use a Gps dongle, which means using the SM app once will not ensure good timekeeping. What I found in the meantime was that even if the GPS had a fix the time was not picked up by Kstars, it would show some “old” time which would throw off the goto. However, if I pressed the GPS refresh button on the GPSD main page then the LT on the Kstars page would indicate UT which was reflected in the GPSd coordinates. There was no offset for my longtitude indicated. But my goto's were correct. Presumably despite that, Kstars must compensate somewhere. At some point I realised that LT had started showing local time and I no longer have to press GPS refresh. This may have happened when I upgraded to 1.7.8. but I cannot be sure as each time there is an upgrade there are a dozen other things that need tweeking. Short version,problem solved.
