The only areas where amateurs still contribute meaningfully are bright star photometry and meteor observing.

I'm sure all the guys who contribute to BeSS and the SASER campaigns would join me in saying that the amateur spectroscopists can and do contribute significant data to many professional/ semi-professional spectral programs.
There is much much more amateur work which can be done, and I assure will continue to be appreciated by the professionals.
No Ken, you misunderstood, my post was in the "future". I fully agree with you about amateur spectroscopists today. Cheers mate!
