Re: Amateur astronomers prove their mettle

We know that many amateurs have fairly substantial aperture telescopes in
their own dark-sky backyards. That's where all these small-observatory
scopes are/could be, but... I suspect the vast majority of the owners just
want to have fun.

Aren't most big amateur scopes dobs, and thus pretty useless for
collecting data?

I was thinking of the guys with 20 inches or more.... and know how to use
it.
