Hi all...I am a bit confused. In setting the controls for my lx200 I went to
the site www.timeanddate.com and looked up the current local time offset for
Toledo, OH (home) and found the offset to be -4. I also saw that in the
manual for eastern time zone the offset is -4. I know that daylight savings
time needs to be taken into consideration but cannot find where my settings
should be -3. Is this an error in the referenced post? Please forgive the
ignorance. I am new to the list and the LX200 as well.
Thanks for the patience,
Bob
