I usually bring the star party to my observatory. I have two sites: on the west side is the roll-off with the LX200. On the east (about 200 yards away) is a site where I set up various telescopes from 6" to 13" in the open, along with chairs and tables. People hike between the sites to look through the different scopes, but the east site is where all the main partying goes on.
We keep the chairs and tables several feet from the telescopes so nobody spills their margaritas on anything optical.
