How 'bout instead just forming a "haven religion". : Then we could discards the robes and, for a little while, perhaps do it in the nude if you like (bit chilly in winter, though). Charge two-bucks-and-half per customer (tax deduction), and we could all probably afford either a better observing site, or hire (or buy) a jet aircraft to take us where the sky is clear and the weather is pleasant!

(Bonus: Eliminating the bit chilly in winter option, mentioned above and the embarrassment for those who are new to the flock.)
Better still, we could form an astronomy church and school (additional government funding) , which must have an obligator observatory and nightly "pray" sessions so we can all appease the sky gods!



How's that for an option, Brother Ric?
