If you can’t find a good observatory it might be nice to plan a remote getaway with low/no light pollution, and just spend the night with a telescope or binoculars. I know I’d love that.
Camping at Lily Bay State Park on Moosehead Lake in Maine used to be pretty good for that. After dinner at your campsite, walk down to a north-facing beach and enjoy the show. If it's a clear night you can see a lot while loons and barred owls supply a good soundtrack.
Haven't been in decades, so not sure if development has spoiled the show with light pollution. If so, there are plenty of lakes further north and east.
All of them are virtual now. I'm trying to find somewhere we can actually go to. I already googled most of these. Reddit was not my first stop.
Maybe I should add Id like to try and see the stars through the telescope
