Hi there. I'm having some odd problems with the Ekos HEQ5 mount driver: when I connect to it, the time in KStars gets set to mid afternoon on 22 February. If I try to set it back to "UTC Now" via the menu the "UTC Offset" does very odd things: sometimes it increments by one on every pressing of the "Time" button, or sets itself to a very large number indeed which sends my actual time back towards February again. I've checked the system time on the small board computer where Indi is running and it is correct, so I'm not sure where 22 February is coming from.
Does anyone else have this problem, or have any suggestions as to how to stop it occurring?

HEQ5 probably has a wrong time and you asked KStars to sync its time to the "Device" time. Change that to "Computer" and it will be the other way around, i.e. KStars sends its time to the mount.
