I see search period; observers location and so on and Local time CEST (GMT +2:00) >Then a table appears: Satellite name: Envisat; Magnitude 3.0; Start time 22:37:25 ; Altitude 10 degrees; Azimuth: SSE, and so on. > The time in the table is that my real local time, or have I correct that time with CEST hours. Dear Fam, I just set up H-A by manually entering in your coordinates. For your country it only gave the option of choosing GMT+1 as a time correction. However, immediately above the choices of 'Time Zones' it says this, "Time Zone (daylight saving time will automatically be added). Then on the page that lists the satellite passes it reads: Local Time: Central European Summer Time (GMT + 2:00) To check to make sure everything was OK I used my own planetarium program and it agreed with H-A. The time you see is your local time with the "Daylight Savings Time" factored in. Clear skies!
