There's an orbit that's always dark to Earth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Earth A telescope in that orbit would never see earthlight, like one on the moon.

Communication with earth in that orbit would be a bit of a pain tho, right?

  Some might see that as a benefit! But yeah you'd want a satellite orbiting in the L4/L5 Lagrange point of the Earth/Sun system. It would seem stationary to both Earth and Counter-Earth/L3.
