    I've had a chance to play with NASA's SKYWATCH applet and recommend it if you 
    are in the path for entry.  The applet allows you to select your location and 
    a desired landing opportunity, and generates a table of azimuth/elevation, 
    and a sky plot.  Pretty slick, if a bit slow to load.  
    
    I didn't see data for White Sands yet, unfortunately.
