Hello Mr. LeRoy, I don't know of any on-line sources, however, I use my handy Celesticomp navigation computer when swinging my compass with a shadow pin. By now, (at the risk of speaking heresy) most navigators should have some kind of electronic navigation calculator. Failing that, you can always manually calculate the sun's azimuth using the formulas and a regular calculator with trig functions.
