Calculations are incorrect unless timezone = 0 #9

Description

@Nero-198

When running this program using the default sample code and comparing it with Orbitoron, the calculations were incorrect unless the timezone was set to UTC 0.

Steps taken:

  • Left the sat.site set to the default location of Naoero.
  • Replaced the unixtime by retrieving the current time externally and updating it accordingly.
  • Obtained and updated the TLE for the ISS (Zarya) from Celestrak.

Following these steps, the calculations were off by about 30 minutes.
Setting timezone = 0 resolved the issue.
