I meant *exactly* ;-) like this:

---- gnuplot input ----
$dat << EOD
8/20/2017;12:00:00 UTC+1.0;10h 35m 50.60s;+03° 47' 15.38";
8/21/2017;12:00:00 UTC+1.0;10h 33m 13.63s;+04° 02' 23.70";
8/22/2017;12:00:00 UTC+1.0;10h 30m 23.99s;-04° 20' 34.64";
EOD

set dataf sep "; "
set table

plot $dat us \
(timecolumn(1,"%d/%m/%Y")):\
(timecolumn(2,"%H:%M:%S")+strcol(3)[4:8]*3600):\
(timecolumn(4,"%Hh %Mm %Ss")/3600):\
(($7 + ($7<0?-$8:$8)/60 + ($7<0?-$9:$9)/3600)) w table
---- end ----

, only with the plot command that fails for you.

Then I can just c&p the whole thing into the gnuplot console, without
creating files and guessing at your exact plot setup.

The negative declinations come out wrong because the minutes and seconds
get the wrong sign then. I fixed the above plot command to take that
into account.
