Disabling DST

Asked by Jere

There must be a way to disable DST, how do I do it?

Daylight Saving Time is this idiotic system that should be banned, but yet still some countries find it very clever and keeps going with it, like Finland. This is really inconvinient for using solar data software and any other stuff involving long periods of time, everyone living with DST feels my pain.

So I did some googling I found out there has been complains in past for that Stellarium doesn't know DST. But now I see a whole new problem: Stellarium knows DST.

SO if I want to see Analemma for example, I press the up-key over date, so the days go by until the time when clocks are changed according DST and then ... the sky jumps off from its path and keeps going in the new timezone giving me a major butthurt.

Changing country to one without DST in locations-menu will not work.

Thanks for answers! (and sorry if they are too obvious).

Stellarium doesn't know DST. Stellarium used TZ and DST from operating system.

Yea okay, well so no way to go around this?

365.25-day years would be cool also for visual timalapse. But totally new subject.

You can use the Time Zone plug-in to force Stellarium to use UTC or a fixed offset from UTC.

Can you help with this problem?
