Many thanks for the very quick response Karen.

I would just want to check with the software developers for the telescope that the FITS keywords are not going to change at all before you do any work.

Currently the FITS headers use DATE-OBS for the date and time.  The GPSSTART field uses the same format, example below.

32 DATE-OBS '2018-08-02T00:54:43.0112279' S
36 GPSEND '2018-08-02T00:56:45.9334801' S
37 GPSSTART '2018-08-02T00:54:45.9325047' S
