4 hrs for a once in a lifetime opportunity with your child isn't very far at all.

True, but it is if you have health issues and need someone to come with you. Chronic pain makes that long of a trip have ramifications felt for at least a week, plus I try not to drive more than an hr without another adult who can drive because I have episodes where I get really sleepy and it's dangerous. Typically after a meal, but not always. I've read it's either to do with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or MCAS, I forget which. Something where your blood sugar spikes, then over corrects or something and you get hit with what I call "the sleeps". I can usually hold it at bay for 20 to 30 mins but that's it. But I do see where you are coming from. For most folks it wouldn't be too big of a thing, i just dont think we could.

Understood. I wish you the best of luck and/or fortune. There are some really great suggestions here, hopefully it pans out, astronomy is a great hobby for young scientists.

I hope it sparks her interest. It's just hard for kids nowadays it seems. (If not, I will at least have some fun!)
