There is an observatory South of Tulsa that is great for viewing. Of course, you have to know or be a part of the Astronomy Club of Tulsa to get out there, or know what days it's open to the public. I think they have a website that has the info.

I believe it's most of the way to Okmulgee.
Edit:
I went out to my backyard, looking north. After a few minutes I could just barely see the big dipper and the North Star. It used to be easily visible. I do not consider that progress. :(
You have come clear around the circle to what I have been saying for a while now....about "progress"...

I found some comet time-lapse of ISON, but Dakotalapse.com had some much more interesting choices.
Check out an earlier comet in this one (best seen fullscreen)
