Daylight Saving Time


For those of us in the USA, this Sunday marks the beginning of Daylight Saving time. Clocks spring forward one hour. For folks in the European Union, DST does not go into effect until March 30.

The newest release of iSkyGaze adds a specific toggle switch for DST. You will want to go into the program under settings, specify your timezone again and then turn DST on. This has the effect of adding an additional hour to the UTC offset.

There are some services that I could attempt to use which supposedly provide the correct DST for a location, but in testing them they do not cover everyone. They are actually quite a few people using iSkyGaze internationally and the data is not accurate enough to rely on it.
