How to use the above...

All the above guides to sunrise and sunset require your latititude and longitude, these can be looked up in the atlas. In the atlas you should search for your town name and you will get a result that looks a bit like this...

Oxford, ENG (UK): 51n46, 1w15, England 

...with geoclock and the Java clock the instructions explain how to enter this. For the Fast times site (which gives you all 19 days on one page) you would enter this information as follows...
