"One of my tour books listed Star Hill Inn as a recommended place to stay if you are visiting Las Vegas, New Mexico. What intrigued me was the description of it as "an astronomy resort," something I have never heard before.
Further digging on the almost 10 internet sites described it as a collection of 7 rustic cabins, complete with kitchens and fireplaces, located about 20 minutes away from Las Vegas. It was located in an isolated spot, far away from any lights so that you have an incredibly clear view of the night sky. Also, the Inn had an actual observatory and telescope bought from the Mount Evans observatory in Colorado when they upgraded.
So, in additon to the $80-$100 per night for your cabin, you could also pay $100 per hour for seeing objects 6-7 billion light years away. This means that you could look at crators on the moon and they would look like continents.
