I had a thought that what you could do is make a large puddle, then get someone to put in sticks for each star, guided by a viewer.

I'm with you 4W, I don't see any reason why not, and if the other alignments are correct, then it would tend to support the theory.

Of course, all this obviously points to memorys of a distant advanced civilisation that came here from Orion but were subsequently wiped out by a natural disaster ;o)

Yes, I had the puddle and stick thought some time ago, but I'm wondering if messing about with those would involve too great a possible margin for error? I'd tend to think the eye was the best instrument.
But didn't they do well? See composite picture here...

Coincidence?(NS) Deliberate, but flukey accuracy?(also NS) No more than they ought to have achieved (FW)? Brilliant?(also NS) Spacemen? (George!)

Only George is definitely wrong!
