I think I'd look around the area and see if an am.astronomer lived near by who
could do a bit of "Sidewalk Astronomy" for you, I'd say you could offer a small
fee to them and they'd do it for you. Let them try it one weekend to see if
anything would come of it first.

If I was coming, I'd bring my own scope!

But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning
lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go
again."

Seems this guy is a school teacher. During the school year he is
available on the weekends and holidays. He's also available all summer.
He will come to your property (I own a B&B) and bring his 10" f/6
Discovery telescope for a two hour tour of the night's sky. For this he
wants $80. If he has to travel 25-50 miles, he wants an extra $20. If it
is over 50 miles, it is by quote. We are about 40 miles away.
Sounds interesting enough.
I have three rooms that rent for as low as $70 in the off season, as
high as $105 in the peak season, and $85 for the times one would not
call peak nor off peak, as well as weekends in the off peak season. The
place is modest but comfortable. Our main focus is on fishing, swimming
and boating. In the winter we are near some cross country ski trails
that are snowmobile free. We have some lake frontage. We have a 12'
jonboat (no motor) available to our guests or they may bring their own
boat.
I'm not sure if our average guest would be interested. I'm not sure if I
could raise the rates $35 to cover this expense. Does it sound
expensive? If you planned on going to a B&B would you pay an extra $35
for this? Thanks.
