I guess I did not announce the almanac extensions here, which are available from WeeWX 5.2 on.
There was a discussion <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/issues/981> some months ago about PyEphem becoming outdated and replaced by Skyfield. It resulted in making the WeeWX almanac extensible and providing an installable WeeWX extension based on Skyfield. This was done because Skyfield has more dependencies than PyEphem, and we did not want to add new dependencies to core WeeWX. The extension not only replaces the PyEphem based almanac, but also provides some additional attributes and events like: - solar date and time - apsides (the events when they take place) - Venus and Mercury phases - which constellation a star or planet is in - additional attributes for heavenly bodies For a list of differences see PyEphem vs. Skyfield <https://github.com/roe-dl/weewx-skyfield-almanac/blob/master/PyEphem-vs-Skyfield.md> . Additionally there is a second extension based on the first one which provides an actual sky map for the location of the weather station with Sun, Moon, the planets, stars, and -configurable - Earth satellites, as well as a symbol of the moon with realistic phase and tilt, and an analemma. Here you find those extensions: - weewx-skyfield-almanac <https://github.com/roe-dl/weewx-skyfield-almanac> - weewx-skymap-almanac <https://github.com/roe-dl/weewx-skymap-almanac> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
