I have 240v out at the observatory, but that was only by luck as i had the power out there for another project before i had even thought of building the observatory.
Lots of options there to think about.

I took no chances with my 30m long trench an hired a technician to use GPR scanner to check for underground services
From memory cost me under $2K for piece of mind
The radar can penetrate to at least 30m underground
There are cheaper options like thermal testing
Alternatively you could use hardwood posts / poles and a catenary wire support system but this may be too obtrusive
If you’re looking to keep your Obs for many many years , underground is the best long term solution by orders of magnitude. “Initial Pain for long term Gain”
