Astronomy Software & GPS

[ribuck]

Hi all,

I have a quick question about astronomy software and GPS. I live in the uk and we just entered british summer last week. (GMT +1 hr).

now i believe the GPS is UTC time which i think is different. So do i need to do something to compensate for this house drift since our time tome zone has changed +1 hr.

What impact does this have onsoftware like "The Sky" and "eqascom"

Thanks,

Rich.

On the SE Mount, I have found it easier to enter the time given by the GPS and tell the computer that I am not using Daylight Saving Time.

Hi DP,

good idea, i suppose that is a very simple solution to the problem.

Thanks,

Rich.
