Kinda like what I just discovered thanks to @johnnycloud . We are measuring hour/minutes not seconds… This has turned into a very timey whimey ordeal for many. And some do not understand what UTC is or that their local time is different. People just look at their phone and accept what time it says with no thought of why or how… (How many people have a clock on the wall that runs on a battery and the hands must be moved when the time changes?) I’m afraid it is the age we are now living in… ---

My readings are 2 minutes earlier than the predicted time consistently now. ---

you may be aware of some of this but: We are collecting times from the 0,0 locations on our prime planets at intervals according to utc times laid out at: > **[PS OPS CENTRE | TOOLS](https://project-skyscraper.vectorcmdr.xyz/tools/?window_sync)** we then enter the planets time and portal coordiantes for the planet here: > **[Temporal Alignment Survey](https://project-skyscraper.com/temporal-alignment-survey/)** > > Information: Temporal measurements must be made at planetary coordinates 0,0 See below for UTC measurement windows. Any data collected in a synchronisation window is valid. Synchronisation cycle re… it’s easiest to keep it all in utc so find your utc adjustment and confirm with the ops center time sync list you can just use the time sync data but when flipping between local time and utc it helps to know your utc adjustment please ask if anything is not clear - I’m only just a few days here and some of it gets confusing and hopefully others will respond to fill in all the stuff I’m leaving out ---
