Hi, I observe from Australia and my local time is Australian Eastern Standard Time. I use an ASI AIR to plate solve the targets so my obs are submitted in AEST in the Fits header. VPhot seems to automatically convert the time to Julian Date. Does it allow for my time zone? I tried setting the iPad that controls the ASIAIR to GMT but that throws off the pointing of the mount. Do I need to edit the Fits header manually to enter the correct JD? If so how do I do that?
Thanks
Mike
Almost certainly VPhot is converting to JD correctly. It will consider the time zone. If there is a doubt you can use one of the online JD to GMT converters to check.
