Yes, this seemed obvious to me. But that's not what it's doing. The mount Offset is -6. That's one setting. Then there's a separate DST setting to Yes or No.

When DST is set to Yes, he mount's clock represents this correctly. But the offset in the mount is still -6.

So the internal mount clock is only for display purposes in the hand controller. And the mount information is not determined by that, but by the actual UTC time. So I have to operate the mount with incorrect settings (no DST), and the hand controller shows the wrong time, but EKOS now has the right time.
