I'm set position at N45° E0°, date to 2005 Oct 15 and time to 01:00 AM. On operating system I'm set time zone UTC+0 and disable daylight time correction. Polaris on the meridian.

Hi Alexander,

it seems we're talking about different time-zone settings.
I changed the timezone in Stellarium without any effect.
(configuration-window => Plugins => time zone)
No other astronomical software requires to set the PC timezone, when
simulating another location.
I suppose you changed the timezone of the PC-clock. That's the wrong way.
I didn't use the real-time clock information from the PC-clock.
I set a location and a specific fixed time and I get the wrong position
of Polaris - that's it.
This has nothing to do with the time of the PC-clock or the time-zone of
the PC-clock. It has to be independent.

Best Regards,
-Axel-

Stellarium use TZ from PC-clock. If you use Time Zone Plugin, then after changes of TZ rules you need save data and restart Stellarium still :(
