I have a similar problem but on a larger scaleas I have 50ha to play with.
I want to build an observatory also. My choices are
1. 50m up my paddock near the powerpole so I can get 240v to the shed but where there are some trees up to about 30deg in all directions.
2. 300m down the paddock where there are no trees but it is blurry cold. Some 5 deg colder than in the trees but electricity is 300m away.
I have deceided on near the power pole as I don't think that I would do much viewing below 30deg anyway and getting down to -7C is just too cold.
For you, use the spot that you will use the most. That is where the skies are darkest.
