Yep, A generator is the way to go. you can get a small generator for under $100, and it'll easily power your observatory. just make a little shelter to protect it from the elements and to muffle out the sound. and as Eric said, set it up 30m or so from your observatory, and all you'll notice is a faint hum.
You could also use the generator to charge a few batteries, so then you won't have to run the generator on those nights when you only plan on going out for an hour or so.
