Is that why you stayed up until 04:36 am on New Years Day, Reg?
Waiting to see where the sun would rise?
;-) Happy New Year!

I thought the question silly too, based on the post until I read it. "The
word "accurately" would imply that "east" isn't good enough. Try
sci.astro.amateur. If that comes up empty, I'll try a telescope maker's
mailing list I'm on.

Many GPS Units have a sun/moon feature that will show the times of
sunrise/set and moonrise/set (you have to input the date).
I remember reading an old 1970's "underground" comic book once, and in one
of the strips the sun came up in the west and set in the east.
