Fix EUI observer coordinate date

changelog/5462.bugfix.rst

@@ -0,0 +1,5 @@
+The date returned by `~sunpy.map.GenericMap.date` for Solar Orbiter/EUI maps
+has been adjusted to be taken from the DATE-AVG keyword
+(the middle of the image acquisition period), instead of the DATE-OBS
+keyword (the beginning of the image acquisition period). This means the observer
+coordinate now has the correct date.
