Bob, Yes, within the yearly information header of my WWW Solar Calculator (URL below) I report the true obliquity at JAN 1.0 of the year being evaluated (the longitude of perihelion as well as the date/times of the solstices/equinoxes for the year are included too). So if you just need to

See "Astronomical Algorithms" by Jean Meeus, pp 135-6. It is recommended for astronomical calculations. The "Astronomical Almanac" probably has values also. The mean obliquity is (defined by the International Astronomical Union): 23 deg 26'21".448 - 46".8150 T - 0.00059 T^2 + 0".001 813 T^3
