Excellent article. Brave man, Jack. I wholly endorse your enthusiasm but please dont read too much into alignments across pairs of stones. There are just too many possibilities and that is why archaeoastronomy is mistrusted by the experts.
I hate solar alignments at prehistoric sites, but having found several I only accept the most obvious ones where the alignment is a simple line between a clearly defined backsight and an obvious horizon feature. Remember, too, that changing obliquity of the ecliptic has to be taken into account (not precession) so present-day solar and lunar alignments wouldn't have worked 3000 years ago.
