Now we have come to the dark period in Sweden and I can start test the changes I have done.

With help of the Crony time handler I at last got thing to work. I got a lot of help for this, from here and friends. Now I can use the equipment outside the internet range and let the GPS sync the system clock. Earlier it only synched the KStars cloc and it caused some problem when polar align the mount. I have updated my instructions to this new setting, not much is changed, most important was the option "-n" in GPSD. It must be set to have Chrony to work as suppused. This is the normal setting but I had changed it to "" according instructions, but that was for Astroberry before version 2.0.1, from version 2.0.1 Astroberry use Chrony as standard. At least I think this is how it works.

Here is my instructions:

Next problem to solve, how to sync the clock in a DSLR Canon camera. It looks that it's possibly in the Ekos settings. But that I start a new thread for.
