A few weeks ago, I downloaded and installed IndiServer on my MacBook computer so that I'll be able to control my Takahashi Temma mount using the Cartes du Ciel planetarium program. I think everything is working except one important thing. In the Site Management section, I see my latitude and longitude listed correctly, but the time (UTC) is blank. And, when I type in the correct time and hit "Set", I get an error message saying the format is incorrect. I've tried various ways to write the time, including hh:mm:ss and I always get the "incorrect format" error message. So, my question is: why is it empty to start with and, if that's not fixable, how do I enter the time manually?

    It needs to be ISO8601 format!

      Thanks Jasem! That’s very interesting.

      I wonder if there’s any way to get my computer to automatically fill that in when I start the app.

    It depends on the client. If you use KStars, it would be filled automatically.

        Can we update things so that Cartes du Ciel also will fill in automatically?
