Picking a species of tree that is dense, and tall enough (but not too tall), may be a thing to offer 99% blockout.

Agreed on both accounts Andy, the idea is to create a good wide "V" of blockout/shadow around the observatory, should any inside or outside lights get turned on/left on. The "tenants" will be well aware of the requirements of the neighbouring observatory when in use but anticipating times when closing curtains doesn't happen or is in fact impractical (eg. summer), other forms of mitigation will be needed. The good thing is, full understanding of my needs and a firm willingness to mitigate is at hand from the start

Yes, something like this will also be done but as you say, takes time (years?) to be effective
