Google Frosty Drew Observatory - it's down at Ninigret. Ninigret is also dark at night, so it'd be good if you want to be on your own. It looks like they have an event coming up Friday night. Also, the Seagrave observatory in North scituate has an event on Saturday night.

Really depends on the phase of the moon for this, if it’s a waxing moon that’s out in the early hours of the night and then sets this is def true but if it’s a waning moon that rises around midnight then it would diminish a bit of the stars’ brightness in those early morning hours

Don't believe this is true... I'm up at 5:30am everyday and some days (like today) the stars are spectacular. But a cold front came through overnight and there's less moisture in the air making the skies appear clearer. That's why stars look so much brighter in the winter.

Anywhere is South County is pretty good as long as you’re not close to URI, for some reason they have it lit up like an airport there all the time. I always find anywhere off Rt 1 between Narragansett and Westerly is usually pretty dark.
