Pairing amateur and professional astronomers
Now there's a registry
Quote:

Now there's a new avenue for pairing eager backyard observers with willing researchers. At June's meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Denver, Colorado, members of the AAS's Working Group for Professional-Amateur Collaboration announced the inauguration of an online "registry" service. First conceived in 1998, the registry is a searchable database that allows amateur astronomers to detail their abilities and professionals to make known their observational needs. According to James C. White II, WGPAC's outgoing chairman, the registry will provide an important missing link in furthering pro-am collaboration.
