Hey
I am looking for software which will most easily allow me to check the path the sun and moon will take at any time in the future. I need to know this in order to be able to better plan a route or photo shooting trip. For example I check the geography of the Giza Necropolis pyramids in Google Earth, I check their coordinates and I check the coordinates of where I plan to stand while shooting, and now I want to find on what day the sun will be exactly between them. Or another example, there's a building I want to stand in and choose a time of year when the moon is directly overhead.
It would be ideal if I could see a map of wherever I want to be and two lines drawn on the map - one of the sun's path, and the other of the moon's. Then I could unpause the time, set it to days, and watch as the line moves on the map as the days go by, and choose the day when the path is best for my needs.
Does anyone know of software or a website which would allow me to easily do either of these two related things?

Thanks Paul!
The task the calculators do I can also do in virtual sky software like stellarium, kstars cartes du ciel, but the sonnenstand link is exactly what I want! Windows/Mac only, I'll try and get it running in Linux and report later if it worked...
The sunposition .info site is also great, I wonder if I could get such a graph using those open source programs mentioned above...
