Then maybe we will see something interesting. It also happens to be where we live. Some of our number have achieved prominence for their contributions. Obvious examples are David Levy for his work with comets and Don Parker for his planetary imaging. Both Levy and Parker have worked on their own and at observatories right along with professionals.
Amateurs are fortunate.
We have the freedom to observe what and when we choose. As such, we are not bound by previous project commitments nor do we have to vie for precious time on an observatory telescope. The other side of the equation is that the size and brightness of many solar system objects puts their details well within the grasp of amateur observers. But there's a stumbling block for many amateurs. In order for observations to be useful, over and above a commitment to observe, you must also commit to specific, scientifically-valid observing methods and recording procedures.
