predicting position of earth, moon and sun



hello astronomy experts -


i'm looking for techniques for predicting dates on which the position of the moon and sun as seen from a given position on earth are as follows:



- the sun is near sunrise


- the moon's position is near the horizon, above the point of sunrise.


if this is unclear, here's my picture worth a thousand words:





** (moon) **


----------------------------------------------- (horizon)


                  ***
                 *****   (rising sun - not visible below horizon)
                  ***




i recently missed an excellent photography opportunity under these conditions and i'd like to track down this set of conditions again, this time with camera in hand.



thanks!
