>  You will be aware of the three different definitions of sunset, of course.

Actually 5...  Physical, Official, Civil, Natutical, and Astronomical.    Plus 
Lady Heather lets you specify an arbitrary horizon angle.  

>  It calculates positions for the moon as well.

Lady Heather also does the moon.  Calculates the moon position, illumination 
percentage, and draws the moon on the analog watch display.   The sun is shown  
on the watch display and the satellite position map.  Internally, the sun is 
treated as a satellite (with PRN number 256).

People have been using Lady Heather's sun info for doing things like disabling 
satellite tracking of satellites near the sun.   The moon info has been used 
for things like moon bounce communications and ranging experiments.
