Keep going !

The lunar alignments will be certain. The lunar maximum setting positions are the ones to look for first. The minimum setting positions may be indicated but are easily mixed up with the solar ones. Venus, mars and the fixed stars? The only one that is easily found is to Deneb, with a prehistoric rising declination of +36.

Such certainty , if based on evidence from the majority of other similar monuments might be understandable if optimistic , but considering that there is no reliable study that has shown any relation between Portal Tombs and the Thom paradigm alignments it's at the very least ,and trying to maintain a level of politeness , illogical .
There are a the huge amount of possible variables involving the arrangement of the stones and it is it's likely you could manage to find the required declinations among them , just as you could in your living room but that does not mean it is meaningful or intentional .
BTW declination of Deneb will be the same for it's rise and set ,it changes very slowly .
