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
However, I get the following errors when I try to tun a Standard Seasons

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.
