Here's a very useful link for trip planning when daylight is limited:
http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/
It even provides "Civil Twilight" data, which is defined to begin in the morning, and to end in the evening when the center of the sun is geometrically 6 degrees below the horizon. This is the limit at which twilight illumination is sufficient, under good weather conditions, for terrestrial objects to be clearly distinguished.
Useful stuff...
