The SUN path PXP will do everything you asked. You enter the object's position (longitude/latitude), date, time, even altitude. You define the number of frames and the time span. It will then create a path for a spot light object. It will work for a single frame or for an entire animation. The routine will also plot the position of any body in the solar system for that matter. So if you ever wonder where the Moon or Jupiter will be (or was) in a specific time and date, just let the thing show you! In that case, you could apply the path to a sphere with the Moon surface mapped to it for a, not only realistic, but very accurate solar system simulation. Give Greg a call at (714) 833-0334.
