Coastal areas can be good because of the dark sky over the ocean, but also the heat differential can disrupt the atmosphere making thinks not as sharp.

There are a lot of neat objects you can see naked eye if it's dark enough and know where to look. Even a few nebula that are big but very faint.

Last time Halley's comet came around I was really into astro photography. Hell I even attended a lecture by James Van Allen. I think the other kids were out chasing girls.
