How Come When I Change The Location And Time Zone, The Time Still Shows My Local Time?

Hello,
I am trying to take a screenshot of the upcoming lunar eclipse for my brother who is in a different time zone, but when I change the location, the time still shows my local time.
(For example, the eclipse shows at my local time of 9pm PST, but when the app is set to Atlanta, GA, it should show their local time of 12am EST.)
It it possible to change this so that it shows the correct time that matches the location set in the app?
I am currently using Sky Safari 5, but if this is a feature of Sky Safari 6, I would consider updating to that.
Thanks!

    Rick,

    I'm sorry no one has answered you previously.  You must be doing something incorrectly because SkySafari will certainly do what you want.

    How did you set the app's location to Atlanta, GA?  Did you pick it from the list?  If you just entered the Lat/Lon directly, you need to remember to change the Standard Time Zone field.  My guess is that wasn't changed and that is why it was still showing the times in your time zone.  If you picked the location from the List, this should have all happened automatically.

    Rick,

    Are you still having a problem?  If we don't get a response, I will assume it has been solved.
