Can you carefully check your setup because I make a quick test using the online sidereal time clock at http://www.jgiesen.de/astro/astroJS/siderealClock/ , and the result are exactly the same. See screenshot above. If you cannot find the glitch please give a full example with the values in different application and upload your skychart.ini file. |

Thanks Patrick for you quick response. I have uploaded a screenshot of our observatory pc display showing a couple of programs displaying the Sidereal Time. MaximDL status display shows the time value and there is a small window showing LMST near the top right of the screen. I have opened the Skychart clock application and you can see it on the screenshot. I have also attached the skychart.ini file from that computer. Jerry |

I just checked the Skychart clock application on my local laptop here at my home and the sidereal time matches exactly what MaximDL says. So there must be a configuration issue with the MSRO observatory computer. Jerry |

Patrick, I figured out the issue. I had set the longitude 1 degree to the west of the observatory location. It should be 77 degree not 78 degrees. Please close this problem report to user error. Thanks! Jerry |
