Thanks for your input. Where else can we go other than Sapporo or Hakodate? Was thinking of north of Sapporo and i do see some remote area at night...i wld pick up car 1-2 days earlier, and have more nights in Sapporo towards the end, for last minute shopping before returning
personally, I wld spend more time in Hakodate than Otaru ,,, there r more interesting places around Hakodate for Autumn sights (eg Lake Onuma, Kosetsuen) ... also it is easy enuf to get to Otaru from Sapporo, without the need to drive
Hako to Otaru will be a very long drive ... half of the way has no expressway
why go to Asahikawa to stay a night ?
there r several places close to Sapporo that have very good Autumn atmosphere

Chitose, Lake Toya, Lake Shikotsu, Niseko, Jozankei areas can be dark n remote
just naming these as they are closer to your itin of going to Hakodate ,,, (compared to Asahikawa or Ashibetsu)
dont really understand what your objectives are ,,, for star gazing, is it like an hour or 2 thing or u gaze throughout the night

I have some close travelling friends who can only travel during sch hol as they are looking after grandkids during sch days. Went in May before. Love the weather then.May (after Golden week) n Sep r definitely low season for Sapporo
Jun is not so much peak season for Hokkaido, but more bcos of SG school holidays I think
Jul is more peak for flower season, than Jun
