Small rural observatory with low light pollution — prime for Milky Way, star trails, and telescope close-ups. Best after astronomical twilight on clear, moonless nights (spring–autumn Milky Way core Mar–Oct). Check event hours/entry (often open for public nights). Easy roadside parking; bring warm clothing and bug spray.
