Actually something just occurred to me...unless I'm mistaken MIT (which isn't far from me) has one or more observation/research telescopes and I recall that they sometimes open them to the general public. I think I'll check that out.
I live in Tucson AZ and we have clear skies at night. There’s a mountain outside town Kitts Peak where they have a lot of telescopes and you can make a reservation to stay up there overnight and view the skies with the scientists. It’s where they decided Pluto wasn’t a planet.
