Sky Map/Almanac Extension

[John Jacklin]

I have recently installed the Sky Map Extension and it is looking good.

The slight niggle is as you can see looking at the bottom of the Sun and Equation Of Time Charts the dates at the run into each other.

Any help to fix would be welcome

I see, the date format includes a 2-digit year. Because of that the algorithm cannot remove the year from the date. Unfortunately the date format there is actually not configurable. It is taken from the standard settings of the operating system. 

I will have to look into it. It is the '%x' in line 1884 of skymapalmanac.py that produces the output. In the meanwhile you could replace it by '%d/%m'.
