Brooke, you received some good answers. Fritz Stumpges hand calculated the
answer, Roger Bailey suggested the Dialists Companion and Gianni Ferrari
suggested the SUN_EPH. Just to show that there is more than one way to get the
answer, I used my "Solar Position" PostScript application that I wrote back
before I knew about those other application. I just type in the parameters and
Viola! the results for each date/time/location..
I posted the two PDF files at http://home.comcast.net/~rlh-pr/clarke/
they also show the answers.
