Daylight Saving Time

hi
I got a question concerning the time used for physical sky. How does it react to the daylight saving?
If this is just ignored, it means the time corresponds with the time in winter?
I'm just asking because I need to take a photograph at the exact same time as the rendering ... (or sometimes the other way around)
thanks for the clarification.
cheers, kami

Daylight saving time policy changes from municipality to municipality, so it is not realistic to compensate for it like we do for time zones. So, you will need to find out whether or not DST is in effect on a given date, for the location you intend to render, and manually compensate for it.
