There are many types of observatories, you will need to decide who your target customer base is going to be and that determines what they need or expect in a 'for hire' facility. Imagers are pretty picky when it comes to mounts, scopes and other equipment. Visual observers are easier to please so i suggest you start with them. Be aware there are free astro camps at places like Bretti, other for fee places like Wirruna, etc so find your niche. Good luck.
