observing
is completely dependent on timing. It is just easier if people report
observations of any kind
in UTC. People should know what their local offset is whether it is
Daylight or standard, PDT, MST, MDT,EDT,Europe, China or Antartica!!

For one thing, to do a polar alignment, you have to know your local time

are east or west of it.



Please tell us, Mike, what level of amateur are YOU?
