TIME AND LOCATION
View / Modify Time: Allows you to view and
make changes to the date, time, time zone offset,
and Daylight Savings Time.
View / Modify Location: Allows you to view and
make changes to the longitude and latitude of your
current location. Please note that changing your
current location will result in a loss of alignment.
You will need to realign your telescope after making
location changes. Press the OPTION
button to toggle between city database and
longitude/latitude.
Time / Location Source: Choose where
StarSense retrieves its time information. This
is automatically acquired when you first start using
StarSense, but you can choose to manually
change these settings if you wish. Some
telescopes, like the Advanced VX, have a Real
Time Clock (RTC), others like the CPC/CPC DX
have a Global Positioning System (GPS), which
saves and keeps track of time. If your telescope
has neither of these, you will need to enter the time
manually when setting up your telescope.
