Could you help me, please, with my confusion regarding which time zone I should input to my Star Sense hand controller.

SCTs take a good while to cool before optimal use - so taking your time to set up won't actually cost you any real usage time anyway.

My 2, Celeste & Cubble, are typically outside and ready to go (bar attachment of batteries on Cubs) at least 3 hours before sunset. I usually then leave them out all night, after tucking them in carefully for bed with their various protective covers. I think I will do an article about this showing what my packing down routine is. Not that my way is better than anyone else's but it's the result of a lot of trial and error and may save someone some, wet, soggy and cold telescopes.
