As requested on the kstars mailing list, I fill this wishlist-bug to include the following italian cities; all the values are taken with a GPS device.

Oggiono                          : Lecco                 : Italy                 : 45 : 47 : 10 : N :   9 : 20 : 10 : E :   1.0 : EU
Lecco                            : Lecco                 : Italy                 : 45 : 51 : 11 : N :   9 : 24 : 11 : E :   1.0 : EU

I have received a number of other cities for our database from users, I am adding them to this wishlist item to make sure they get added to kstars when the strings freeze thaws.  Thanks for the contribution!

Forgot one, our first Namibian city, and therefore first use of the "NB" daylight savings time rule:

Windhoek : Khomas Hochland : Namibia : 22 : 33 : 35 : S : 17 : 04 : 34 : E : 1.0 : NB

I've received a request from a user.

Correct data for:

Izaña : Tenerife : Spain : 28 : 18 : 00: N : 16 : 30 : 35 : W : 0.0 : EU

Santa Cruz de Tenerife : Tenerife : Spain : 28 : 26 : 60 : N : 16 : 13 : 60 : W : 0.0 : EU

remove Las Palmas and change Palmas de G. C., Las to:
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria : Gran Canaria : Spain : 28 : 06 : 00: N : 15 : 25 : 00 : W : 0.0 : EU

add:

Here's another city to add, contributed by a user.  The city Mamoudzou is the capital of Mayotte, a French island in the Indian Ocean.

Mamoudzou                        :                       : Mayotte-FR            : 12 : 46 : 45 : S :  45 : 13 : 45 : E :   4.0 : --

Would it be possible to add the following as well.

Hobart : Tasmania : Australia : 42 : 52 :  57 : S : 147 : 19 : 48 : E :+10.0 : AU

It was worked out using map coordinates entered into a gps set to the datum the map used and then changing the gps to WGS 84 and the figues given extracted as per below.

Australian Geodetic 1966 UTM 55G 5 26 840 E  52 52 010 N

Changed gps to WGS 84 and came up with the following:

Hddd mm ss.ss  S 42 52 56.6  E 147 19 48.2

Hddd mm.mmm  S 42 52.943  E 147 19.803

Hopefully I have already done the figures correctly, if not I hope the information above will provide any details needed.
