Visiting the Siding Spring Observatory at Night?

Hi folks,

I'm heading down to Cairns from Singapore for the eclipse in Nov, and planning to land in Sydney first then drive to the famous Siding Spring Observatory in Coonanbarabran the week before the eclipse.

I browsed through the observatory's official website and noticed it's not open to public at night. So, I'm wondering whether any of you folks here know how I can stay there for a half-nighter, with the purpose of wide angle astrophotography near the observatory complex. I don't have any intention to step inside the observatories and interrupt the astronomers' scientific studies.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Jia Hao
