Setting the date and time on an INDI mount - Standard Property TIME_UTC

Hi All,

Just a quick question. I'm slightly confused with setting the mount's date and time via the standard property "TIME_UTC". Currently, I'm setting the "UTC type" to the current UTC time and then setting the "OFFSET type" to whatever the user's timezone offset is. For example, in the United Kingdom, I set this to zero., France it's set to +1 and for Perth it's set to +8.

My question is: Do I need to factor daylight saving into the OFFSET value? For example, in the United Kingdom, do I need to set OFFSET to +1 when in daylight saving or do I just leave the OFFSET at zero and set the "UTC type" to the current UTC time and not factor daylight saving into it at all?

Many thanks
Amanda
