Firstly, appologies for the double entry.

You may not agree but that is basically the argument and bone of contention anyway

No, I agree Mike, and thanks for clarifying the argument. I have no issue at all with people setting up their own observatories and gathering the highest quality data they can afford or with entering my efforts in competition with them on an amature basis. After all most of what I have learned in amature astronomy so far has been based on these peoples efforts and experience and their willingness to share it freely.
