I like the general principle, but Pluto's orbit is only eighty AUs wide, which is not enough. You would need about a minute of arc to notice anything, and in this scheme only the Centauri system would shift at all. For somewhere like Betelgeuse to show a shift, it would need to be several hundred times wider than that. |

I love it (+) the idea, like a Viewmaster? Maybe do one for just the solar system viewed from Pluto? Maybe just the inner planets? The Grand Canyon? The view from the top of Everest? Whatever is so huge that it mocks explanation. |

Yes, actually i can see it would work for bodies within the Solar System, particularly from vantage points where other bodies would appear as discs. Maybe from opposite limbs of the same planet or from two different co-orbital moons. |
