Re: DST issue in calculating local time?
Hristo, Strange indeed. I get the eclipse event (closer to the horizon), but not the second event an hour later (would be higher). any ideas of what to check in the configuration? V

Re: DST issue in calculating local time?
Hi Vince, You should have received both events. I just want to be sure that there is no problem with OW itself. Do you have an explanation of why only one of the two events is shown (e.g. altitude too

Re: DST issue in calculating local time?
Hristo, Now we have all the info we need. My feed only received the Europa eclipses Io event and didn't show the occultation event at 1429UT. Software like Stellarium can simulate the occultation (the

Re: DST issue in calculating local time?
Hi Vince, I compute the Planet Satellites events using Occult and then upload them as an OW feed. There may be some error in the process but I need to know which event you are referring to. There are

Re: DST issue in calculating local time?
I think this is no longer a PC / time zone issue. Other apps have verified that the predicted time of the event is 1429UT and the feed in Occult Watcher predicts 1329UT. Is the author of that Planet

Re: DST issue in calculating local time?
Hi Vince, OW uses your computer's time zone to compute event times in regards to time zones and DST. If you are running OW on Windows then make sure your Windows timezone is your Arizona timezone. If

Re: DST issue in calculating local time?
I looked for the 5Mar2021 1329UT on an android app called "Moons of Jupiter". It concurs with Stellarium that the event takes place at 1429UT rather than 1329UT. I'm using Stellarium on a Win10
Re: DST issue in calculating local time?
I am now showing UT time as well and the time between local and UT doesn't change for events before/after when DST should be active. I am now thinking it is a issue between Stellarium and the system

Re: DST issue in calculating local time?
Since we're doing astronomical observations it would save confusion if all times in the results were in UTC. If necessary the observer could convert them to local time. We have it much simpler in

Re: DST issue in calculating local time?
Vince, I live in Arizona too. I do not see any problems with the ¡®local time¡¯ that OccultWatcher produces. I keep two columns up in OccultWatcher, one for UT and one for Local Time. Both before

DST issue in calculating local time?
I'm in Arizona, USA which doesn't follow DST. I was looking at the Europa/Io event on March 5th and the software provides a local time for the event of 6:29am. I loaded up Stellarium to see the big
Re: OWEvents feed?
Hi Ted, Generally it should be working fine - there is nothing special about installation on a second computer. Can you confirm that on your second computer your account has been configured correctly

OWEvents feed?
On one of my computers, I see many events from the feed named OWEvents. On a second computer with the same login for Observation planner, I don't see any events from this feed. Both computers have the

Re: Possible problem with update

Re: Duplicate entries in "My Events"
I think I found the problem. I somehow managed to put two stations in so I deleted both entries and start it over and it seems to be working fine now. [email protected]> wrote:

Hello unknown writer, I can see a single event on the server: C/2020 M3 (ATLA) Occulting UCAC4690036759 on 13 Jan 2021, as a submission by "Rick Frankenberger", with currently two stations: "Cobble K
