(meteorobs) OT- Changing Sentinel to show Universal Time.

[Chris Peterson]

It's not really a flaw, it's just that they shouldn't call the three 
available settings that happen to be in the offset=0 zone "GMT". And it 
wouldn't hurt if they added a UT category to avoid confusion. But the 
Casablanca trick is well known among astronomers who want their telescopes 
and computers to keep UT.
