You have a decent planetarium program, right? Just compare the positions Kurt posted for the gegenschien and compare those to the sun's position on the same day. They should be approximately opposite in the sky. Gegenschien means "counterglow". The zodiacal light should be fairly easy right now, although Venus will be a huge overexposed blob for any imaging attempts in the morning hours once the moon is out of the picture.

That would have been my first guess, but I really don't have that much background in orbital dynamics.
I'm hoping to get a new tracking platform operational by this weekend so that I can try some imaging, including the zodiacal light and gegenschien.
