That's much too complicated - and don't forget that many of the original alignments are near useless due to the movement of the earth around the (the precession of the equinoxes).

Professor Thom made a table of strongly suspected alignments in his first book - it was part of his life's work. So, in this putative data base, the discoverer of the suspected alignmentshould be included also.

Precession will hardly impact upon lunar and solar alignments .

Not sure how that's complicated? Do you mean the declination? I'm always happier if I can see measured data as well as personal observation.

If you can put in the 'original discoverer', that's grand. It's Derek's idea though, so if he wants to set parameters it's up to him.
