A couple guys at the PS Geek meeting at Mark's were interested in this link. You can track sun and moon position on any date and time. It's a Java Applet, and it's really quite sweet. I've used it a few times to determine where the sun and moon would be rising or setting.

Enjoy:

Another excellent source is the US Naval Observatory. Doesn't have the fancy Java bells and whistles, but it's simple and straight forward. This is my tool of choice, as I can print out a table and keep it in my pocket with my compass.
