AsiAir, Sky Atlas, AM5 and summer time

Peripal

Since we changed to summer time, when I start AsiAir application, it says the mount time (AM5) is UTC+1. In order to set up the real-time to UTC+2 in AsiAir, I also have to start Sky Atlas.
Is there a way to avoid having to start Sky Atlas if I’m only going to use AsiAir?

Peripal are you referring to the time in the top left corner?

Or are you referring to the time under Mount settings?

Peripal The time zone was obtained from your phone information, what is the time zone on your phone time settings? Usually no need to change that.

Corsair the time under mount settings.

Tech@ZWO Sky Atlas correctly obtains my phone's time zone, but AsiAir doesn't. That's the problem.

You need to post screenshots.

Corsair Running only the AsiAir app...

Peripal

With AsiAir app running, I run the Sky Atlas app. In this way, AsiAir takes the correct time and UTC zone.

Okay.

If your location currently in daylight savings time - I.e. your clocks have moved forward one hour - then this should be situation:

Say your current local real time is 20:00 (so 8pm).

Then, the time in the top left corner of the ASIAIR App will also be 8pm.

However - the time under mount settings should be 7pm (I.e. the time without daylight saving time).

See the picture I've attached as an example. You can see that the Mount Time (not DST) is one hour behind the real (DST) time. That is how it should be.

Corsair Now I got it. Thank you so much for your detailed explanation.
