My point, for example, is simply this: very gifted amateurs don't have the gear (aka. big enough hammers) to observe the spectrum with sufficient detail or precision to observe, for example, that fact that the Universe's expansion is accelerating.
The latter changes our perspectives on Astronomy.
Another minor planet? well...cool. but I'll let the readers decide as to it's overall importance.

At the risk of being banned from IIS, again I say what you loved to stick into many - Bollocks to your comments. So now you try to make your point to sweeten your toxic comments after offending amateur astronomers. Again I ask you withdraw Fluff n Stuff and delusional comments as you have offended me with these comments. You think you are God's gift to Astro?, some high priest of astro imaging, well that you are not. As I said every now and then you do a pretty pic Pete, one was good enough to use as my desktop background for a few weeks.
