My problem with this is - it's a 'line of sight' effect that would only be visible, surely, to a small amount of people in the avenue.
That's why I asked on another thread if someone *saw* the reappearance of the Moon last week.
I mean the moon is what, 250,000 miles away, the tallest stone a hundred yards or so. . so if you walked a few feet either side, you'd lose the effect, wouldn't you? No diffrent from seeing the moon between branches of a tree in your backyard. Walk to another window the moon has changed position.
If you wanted a large congregation to see a lunar 'event', as a piece of theatre, then you'd surely need a long distance between the stones that 'frame' the moon and the congregation?
