On the documentation of this, it says:
[with the image with two dots] A computed visibility for two separate
-ox and -oy points on a DEM.
gdal_viewshed -md 500 -ox -10147017 -oy 5108065 source.tif destination.tif

The image with two dots makes me think that there can be multiple
observer inputs.  Is that the case?  Is the syntax for that just to
keep adding more -ox, -oy, (and oz)?  For instance, gdal_viewshed -md
500 -ox -10147017 -oy 5108065 -ox -10147117 -oy 5108165+100 source.tif
destination.tif

Best regards, Eli
