See your named star from here
Observatories that track asteroids use the same kind of coordinate data that comes with a named star, so the RA/Dec of your star could, in principle, be pointed to from a site like this one. Browse our naming packages or the star catalogue to find your own.
Opening hours and public-visit programs vary by season. Check the official website and Google Maps for current times before you travel.
