UPDATING DISPLAY CHANGES LST BY ONE HOUR

ISSUE

Each time the postions of the stars are updated on the Sky Display, the Local Sidereal Time is changed by one hour.

RESOLUTION

Bug in computing time during DST causes the time reported by TheSky to be one hour off from the system time. Version 4.00.025 fixes problem.

Temporary solution: Set time zone back one hour, and select “Not Observed” DST option. This is only accurate for dates within DST – return to correct time zone for other dates.
