I don't think there are very great number of "amateurs" these days. Looking at the work of a great number of the IIS "amateurs" they are all turning out work that the professionals only dreamed of 30 years ago.
If you spend $xxxxx dollars on gear and then set yourself a program of reasearch are you really an amateur? Of course you don't get paid but what professional astronomers get paid real money for the work they do.
