Hi, Alan:? EDT and ADT are different.? The Halifax screen-shot showing ADT as having a TZ offset of 4 hours is wrong.? ADT is UTC minus 3.
The Halifax entry in my file /usr/share/xephem/auxil/xephem_sites was wrong, so I changed it from AST5ADT to AST4ADT.? (Looks like that is the only Atlantic Time entry in my copy of that file.)

Are the site data distributed with XEphem out of date??? Is this something the individual user ought to verify for every site he visits?
Thank you,
