While this thread is entitled Gear for NightSky Photography, I don't think I am stretching the meaning too far to include software.

I have found a very useful application called The Photographers Ephemeris, it calculates the sunrise, sunset and moonrise, moonset angles and times which is extremely useful for photography at twilight and at night so you can plan dates and times to take these photographs.

After all photography is by definition dependent on light, it's good to know when it will be available and at what time on any given day.

I am now regularly referring to the Ephemeris to plan my early and late photography.
