RSC 's are broad , in that they are not pinpointing "alignments " but a part of the sky where the full moon will be low at a particular time of year .
Yes that's what i meant by - a very broad "at the moon", I agree alignment tends to mean something less broad, as you know the land tends to give the view or the low horizon, so therefore alignments are as much about the lay of the land of a region as anything else.
