I've seen some recent discussion of the skymap extension to weewx, and it looks really interesting. However, I can't seem to get it installed correctly. Running weewx 5.2 on a Mac Studio for a while now, with no problems, and uploading data to PWS and an FTP site also with no problems until now.

I installed skymap according to the instructions on the roe-dl github, and installation seemed to work. I added the following to my weewx.conf as a test, copied from the github:
[Almanac]
[[Skyfield]]
enable = true
ephemeris = de440.bsp
use_builtin_timescale = false
timescale_url = https://datacenter.iers.org/products/eop/rapid/standard/finals2000A.all, ftps://gdc.cddis.eosdis.nasa.gov/products/iers/finals.all

timescale_url = https://datacenter.iers.org/products/eop/rapid/standard/finals2000A.all, ftps://gdc.cddis.eosdis.nasa.gov/products/iers/finals.all
However, I get the following errors when I try to tun a Standard Seasons Report:

The "cannot find 'sun'" errors seem to be related to weewx not finding the almanac module? If I disable the skyfield entry in my weewx.conf, everything runs fine.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm a bit of a newby here, so not sure where I should be looking.

Is the Seasons skin unchanged?
Could you set debug=1 in weewx.conf, restart WeeWX and then post the log again?

May be you need some patience. I am missing the message, that de440.bsp was successfully downloaded. That can take a while.

Hi Karen,
The Seasons skin should be unchanged, unless the install process modified it?
Here's a new log with Debug = 1

I hadn't thought about that - how big is that file and where will it be saved once downloaded?
Thanks! Sean

The extension creates a subdirectory skyfield in the database directory (SQLITE_ROOT) . That is the directory where weewx.sdb is stored. The file de440.bsp is saved to that subdirectory.
There is no message that user.skyfieldalmanac is loaded. weewx-skymap-almanac requires weewx-skyfield-almanac. Please check the installation of weewx-skyfield-almanac.

note that skyfieldalmanac.py is a symbolic link to skymapalmanac.py - is this correct?
No.
I have no idea how that can happen. You have to install both weewx-skyfield-almanac and weewx-skymap-almanac. Please remove the symbolic link first before re-installation the extensions.

Success - thanks Karen, I appreciate your help. I didn't understand that I needed to install skyfield separately from skymap. I misunderstood a reference somewhere to "pip install skyfield", and thought that would take care of it. I don't know where the symbolic link came from...
Anyhow, working now, and I will start to explore all the options. This is a great extension.
