Rather interesting to see where your contributions to the science can end up.
The Astronomers Telegram (no ATEL2389) reports that Russell & Inmler (NASA/CRESST/GSFC) using the Swift X Ray telescope made observations of Stuart Parkers Supernova discovery SN2009mk (in ESO293-34) noting an X ray point source was detected consistent with the optical position of the SN.
This was followed with a lot of science jargon that is obviously of value to someone, but the point is made, amateurs can and do make real contributions even today to the science of Astronomy, and that professionals do use these contributions in many various ways.
