[APBeta] Astroplanner refusing to slew - saying object below horizon

[Phil Gaskill]

Yep, Autostar.

I know my date and time were right, because I got a warning about Daylight Saving Time having changed since I last launched, so I checked all that. I didn't have any reason (that I knew of at the time) to double-check my location, but I can't think why it would have changed.

I just checked, and all my date/time/location/offset settings are correct.

This is on the iBook, of course: the Mac Pro is a little too big to take outside. ;-)

I checked the obvious things like the location, date and time were correct.  I then re-installed V2b74 and it worked fine.  This is the first time I've had any issues for a long time.
