   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_astronomy
   
   Extractions: Using inline citations (December 2007) Amateur astronomers watch the night sky during the Perseid meteor shower Amateur astronomy , a subset of astronomy , is a hobby whose participants enjoy studying and observing celestial objects. The amateur astronomer is one who does not depend on the field of astronomy as a primary source of income or support, and does not have a professional degree or advanced academic training. Many amateurs are beginners, while others have a high degree in astronomy and often assist and work along side professional astronomers. Amateur astronomy is usually associated with viewing the night sky when most celestial objects and events are visible, but sometimes amateur astronomers also operate during the day for events such as sunspots and solar eclipses . Amateur astronomers often look at the sky using nothing more than their eyes, but common tools for amateur astronomy include portable telescopes and binoculars People have studied the sky throughout history in an amateur framework, without any formal method of funding. It is only within about the past century, however, that amateur astronomy has become an activity clearly distinguished from professional astronomy, and other related activities.

7. 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.

His books, lectures and stories have been an inspiration to our family for many years. One of his best work is Surely You Are Joking Mr. Feynman .

Even the occasional backyard skywatching by unaided eye or a small telescope can be a marvelous experience. There are innumerable web sites already devoted to general astronomy and so we start below with just a guide to some introductory sites and a few of the major astronomy link lists. We will focus here more on sites related to astronomy projects where amateurs can make significant contributions. One of the most wonderful aspects of astronomy is that amateurs still make significant contributions.

    Extractions: I've been interested in astronomy since I was a teenager. Many start out as an amateur and occasionally some progress to professional astronomy. I stayed amateur and instead became a computer programmer, but I've happily ended up at a major professional observatory. This has enriched my hobby and allowed me to evolve in ways not available to most others. I have access to resources and people that others can never have. My interests in amateur astronomy have always been technically inclined, always building my own equipment where possible.
