Oh no! Please not. I haven't yet experienced the stars 'drawing down' at Stonehenge but hope to one day.
Years ago a mate and I on permision from EH spent what was meant to be a moonlight night there on a photographic mission. Needless to say it was so cloudy we saw nothing so compromised with the use of lanterns.
I've only
really experienced the stars in their full splendour once in my life ... a moonless, frosty night near Silbury several years ago. I wasn't high on anything at all but it like seeing for the first time for a blind person. Totally awe inspiring. I understand this happens in other ancient places too and Stonehenge is one of them.
When I was in Morroco June we camped against the walls of a redundent Foreign Legion fort one night and the sky looked like you were looking at it through a zoom lense. The moon appeared huge and the stars as big as tennis balls. All to do with the clean atmosphere no doubt but breathtaking.
