21. Amateur Astronomy Magazine
    News for, by and about amateur astronomers around the world. A quarterly publication with lots of articles and pictures about all aspects of amateur astronomy.  
    http://amateurastronomy.com
    
    Extractions: Imagine a book nearly eight inches thick, containing thousands of pages and photographs - all on your favorite hobby. Now imagine that every three months another 68 page chapter and another hundred plus photos are added to this book. This is Amateur Astronomy Magazine! Our articles are not written by professional writers. They are written by our subscribers, amateur astronomers who know their subject and their articles reflect their love of the hobby. The articles are not edited to death so they have no life left in them. We are subscriber supported. That means that we can say what we want. If a reviewer does not like a product, we can say so, since we don't bow to the almighty advertising dollar. Each issue contains 68 pages - and less than eight pages contain advertising. We only carry enough ads to help pay the bills. We cover the subjects that you will never see in the big magazines. If we don't like a telescope or book we say so. When we go to a star party we run many pages and dozens of photos, not a paragraph or two with one small photo that doesn't tell the real story. One article ran 20 pages and had 108 photos, just to do justice to the story. We carry articles that the real amateur astronomers of the world are interested in reading - not articles that are aimed at the news stand market of casual readers, or intended for professional astronomers.

    Where amateur astronomy Resides. An open letter to the editor of the Prairie I really cherish the facets of amateur astronomy were I constructively draw  
    http://www.prairieastronomyclub.org/kevn_ltr.htm
    
    Extractions: Back to the PAC Menu [This letter has been included in our web page because if the timeless nature of the thoughts that reside within it. (originally published in the Prairie Astronomer in December 1992)] I just got my new telescope no too long ago and am still discovering all sorts of things that I knew existed but also knew that I would never be able to see with only my binoculars at my disposal. When I first got my Celestron Special Edition Ultima 8 I was pretty guarded about the whole thing. Oh, I have a friend, also a member of the club whom I generally share my observations with. He has a Mead LX-6 10" SCT and we've been comparing sights between the two scopes. He pulls down a few more stars than I and can probably find a few more galaxies and planetaries than I, but for all intents and purposes, we can reach nearly the same objects to suit our amateur desires. Being members of a fairly good-sized and active club has helped our hobbies along marvelously. The people in our club are always helpful in providing assistance when some problem arises during a session, and all provide a unique form of friendship that one only finds when appreciating something as universal as amateur astronomy.

38. Prairie Astronomy Club: Amateur Astronomy
    The role of the amateur astronomer, and possible contributions within different fields.  
    http://www.prairieastronomyclub.org/amateurs.html
    
    Extractions: By: Dave Scherping I feel that part of my role as president is to help our members continue to grow and not lose interest in astronomy. As with most hobbies, if there's no variation or challenges, you may lose interest. One way to add variation and excitement is to get involved in one of the activities in which amateur astronomers can make contributions to science. Astronomy is unique among the sciences in that amateurs can and do play an important role. When was the last time you heard of an amateur chemist, biologist, or geologist making an important discovery? Sure, some amateurs dabble in these sciences but rarely do they contribute significant observations or discoveries. In astronomy, professionals are typically absorbed in teaching and conducting specialized research, and observing time at the major observatories is limited and not easy to come by. This leaves open numerous areas in which amateurs can contribute. Below are a few examples : Comet Hunting is the field that usually comes to mind when we think of amateur discoveries. Mankind has had an interest in comets since the ancient days, and devotion to comet discovery can be traced back many centuries. Since the invention of the telescope, many individuals have devoted entire lifetimes to being the first to observe a new comet. It's the one discovery that eternally carries the name of the discoverer. Comet hunting does indeed require dedication. Avid comet hunters are ready to go at dusk nearly every clear night of the year and are up then a couple of hours before dawn, searching the skies again. Some have searched for years with little success, while others have found several. All will tell you, the rewards are worth it.
