Hi all,

I'm seeking more fodder for my proposed NACAA paper next year, again somewhat related to the previous Pro/Am collaboration discussions (aimed solely at the astronomical sciences only).

Some questions to ponder and respond to (but certainly not restricted to these)

1. Do you do 'Real' Science?
2. What do you think 'Real' Science is?
3. Do you 'reinvent the wheel' so to speak (perhaps just to prove you can do the observation/analysis etc)? ie being of of 200 observers reporting photometry for the same target on the same night or performing astrometry on a target who's position/orbit is know with an uncertainty smaller than the error of your own observations.
4. If you do any form of scientific work - what is it and why do you do it.

No-one will be judged here and there are no right or wrong answers.

Cheers
