Ed, GMT is correct compared to your time. Month is correct. Moon phase looks correct (3 days past full moon - I will check against mine tonight). Dragon head I will check tonight.

I am still confused by your daylight indicator - it appears to be running fully 6 months wrong. Your bar is curved upwards which indicates the North Pole is currently in permanent darkness - Sun is at 12 o'clock and the area above the bar is the area lit by the sun. The bar should be straight on the equinox's (21st March & 21st September approx) and fully bent on the longest and shortest days (21st June & 21st December approx). The longest day is coming up on the 21st June (Northern Hemisphere) which is used by the piece as you are viewing looking down on the north pole - so the bar should be fully deflected down on the 21st of June to show the maximum area being lit by the sun. This will also affect your sunrise and sunset times, with the bar deflected upwards the time between sunrise (on right) and sunset (on left) is shorter (time read at the equator line) but of course we are nearing the longest day so the time between sunrise and sunset should be nearing it's maximum.

This picture shows date set to the shortest day in December and the bar is fully deflected upwards - North pole in permanent darkness.
