It would have been better to ask about "which conditions must have a good starsighting place".

It must be:

* Dark
* Far from cities
* Not under main flight paths (this depends on which altitude is the object you want to observe)
* High altitude (or any special place with low cloud formation and low turbulence)
* Far from big water bodies that can cause local humidity
