The moon and the sun

Hi folks,

some wisdom sought here.

I was at Athgreany stone circle last night. Beautiful, midges aside. The colour of the rocks as the sun set was worth getting eaten alive for. As the sun was setting the moon was rising over Church mountain and was quite high in the sky. It seemed to me that were one able to draw a straight line between the centre of both celectial discs, this imaginary line would split the circle almost on its diameter. Standing in the centre of the circle this was quite an experience, the almost blood red setting sun to my left and the almost full moon on my right.

Question: when the moon is full, do we think that it will split the circle exactly on its diameter?

I've been following the Callanish threads and the full moon/solstice stuff but don't fully understand a lot of it. Some may say: forget about the techy stuff and just go and experience the place. Fine, but the nerd in me always asks these questions and I've ben getting in touch with my inner nerd a lot lately.

There have been many dates thrown out in the Callanish threads. When do we think is the best time to witness the phenomenon described above?

Thanks in advance

Andy
