I’m going on with the assumption that my understanding of the HA number is correct.
Yes we have just switched to summer time in my locale. However, I have the following configuration:
1. Losmandy Gemini 2 Level.
2. GPS device connected to the mount controller
3. NTP configured on the mount
4. When I power on the mount, I use the cold start option and query both GPS and NTP for the location and time.
5. Kstars is configured for “Mount updates Kstars” with both Time and Location set.

The Mini PC. Time matches the mount. How can I tell what time Kstars thinks it is currently? Also since the mount is updating location how do I determine that it’s using the correct UTC offset? Opening the Time dialog shows that my location in the table, the offset is correct. I also notice that if you choose a DST setting, the UTC offset must be the “winter” one for Kstars to get the time right during summer.
