Cool idea, Jay. My only thoughts are that a large regional "private" or "paid" star-party, in practice, isn't much different from a large, outreach-type free public star party. The only difference is that you don't feel guilty by denying a view to visitors at your site if you are busy at the eyepiece. You guys will need to incorporate as either non-profit, or LLC if you intend to make money. And a hefty insurance policy is a necessity. Good luck!
