- Amateur deep field project ? (as per this thread)
- Exoplanet transit detection ?
- From an equipment perspective, low read noise, high QE sensors with small pixels allow one to obtain high resolution deep sky images without the need for long focal length or a huge mount (just look at some of Ray's images).
I am very interested in getting involved in amateur astronomy science and I have equipment that I think could be put to the task, i just dont know where to start...? What are the researchable questions and projects/targets that I can contribute to with the most impact? how do the pro-am collaborations that have been mentioned already in this thread get started? Sure I can stick a star analyser grating or photometric filter on one of my cameras and start playing to learn the basics myself. But what then?
