Doubt has always existed among amateur astronomers regarding their contributions to the science of astronomy. Naturally, your eqipment cannot compare with the professional’s; you’re unable to build a large telescope on some lofty mountain top and, if you’re like the great majority of amateur astronomers, you lack the specialized training and experience of the professional astronomer; so the question of quality is posed. Occasionally, you may wonder, “Are my contributions even needed today?” when orbiting telescopes and 10-meter mirrors are being used by professional astronomers. The superiority of the professional and their equipment appears to leave not the slightest niche for you and me. |
