you have to go into the animation dialog, click on RA/dec, moving or
horizont (or what you want to follow) and click on real time, set the
update time (for exampel 60 sec) and then click on ">>" to start the
animation. The display (and the time of course) will be updated every
xx seconds using the system time of your computer.

Hope this helps and clear skies
Bernd
