Courtney,

There is a way. You need to get two items in order to do this. First is the
book "Fundamental Ephemeris Computations" by Paul J. Heafner, and the second
is the CD "JPL Planetary and Lunar Ephemerides". Both of these are available
from Willmann-Bell Co. ( www.willbell.com). If you are a clever programmer
you can roll your own almanac. Software is available on the i'net as well. A
good search with Google for "Almanac" will keep you busy for a bit.

Meeus' books are also available at WB and make a good starting point.
