Active Galactic Nuclei Observing Program – Variable Galaxies, and Spectroscopy Observing Program:

This Citizen Science Project results in observational data being turned in to the AAVSO. This is the same as the process for the Variable Star Observing Programs (Active Galactic Nuclei) or a different database for Spectra.  They do not require submission to AAVSO to earn the certificate and pin, but to qualify for the Citizen Science recognitions, you must submit your observations to the AAVSO.

When you have done enough observations to qualify for the Astronomical League’s Citizen Science recognitions, follow the directions on the Citizen Science web page to report your successes to the Coordinator.  These are the levels of recognition available:

• 100 Observations – Bronze Level
• 500 Observations – Silver Level
• 1000 Observations – Gold Level, Class 1
• 2000 Observations – Gold Level, Class 2
• etc.

Send a report from the AAVSO website that documents your submissions.

 

Binocular Variable Star, Nova, and Variable Star Observing Programs:

These Citizen Science Projects result in observational data being turned in to the AAVSO. This is the same process that you used while doing the Observing Programs with the Astronomical League.  Continue to submit your observations to the AAVSO.

When you have done enough observations to qualify for the Astronomical League’s Citizen Science recognitions, follow the directions on the Citizen Science web page to report your successes to the Coordinator.  These are the levels of recognition available:

• 500 Observations – Silver Level
• 1000 Observations – Gold Level, Class 1
• 2000 Observations – Gold Level, Class 2
• etc.

Send a report from the AAVSO website that documents your submissions.

 

Target NEO Observing Program:

This Citizen Science Project results in observational data being turned in to the Target NEO Team. This is the same process that you used while doing the Observing Program with the Astronomical League.  Continue to submit your observations to the Target NEO Team..

When you have done enough observations to qualify for the Astronomical League’s Citizen Science recognitions, follow the directions on the Citizen Science web page to report your successes to the Coordinator.  These are the levels of recognition available:

• 100 Observations – Bronze Level
• 500 Observations – Silver Level
• 1000 Observations – Gold Level, Class 1
• 2000 Observations – Gold Level, Class 2
• etc.

Keep track of your submssions to the Target NEO Team.  When you have enough, please forward your documentation to the Coordinator.

 

Occultation Observing Program:

This Citizen Science Project results in observational data being turned in to the IOTA. This is the same process that you used while doing the Observing Program with the Astronomical League.  Continue to submit your observations to the IOTA.

When you have done enough observations to qualify for the Astronomical League’s Citizen Science recognitions, follow the directions on the Citizen Science web page to report your successes to the Coordinator.  These are the levels of recognition available:

• 100 Observations – Bronze Level
• 500 Observations – Silver Level
• 1000 Observations – Gold Level, Class 1
• 2000 Observations – Gold Level, Class 2
• etc.

Keep track of your submssions to the IOTA.  When you have enough, please forward your documentation to the Coordinator.

 

Mars Observing Program:

This Citizen Science Project results in observational data being turned in to the ALPO . This is the same process that you used while doing the Observing Program with the Astronomical League.  Continue to submit your observations to the ALPO  Mars Section Coordinator.

When you have done enough observations to qualify for the Astronomical League’s Citizen Science recognitions, follow the directions on the Citizen Science web page to report your successes to the Coordinator.  These are the levels of recognition available:

• 500 Observations – Silver Level
• 1000 Observations – Gold Level, Class 1
• 2000 Observations – Gold Level, Class 2
• etc.

Keep track of your submssions to the ALPO .  When you have enough, please forward your documentation to the Coordinator.

 

Meteor Observing Program:

This Citizen Science Project results in observational data being turned in to the ALPO or IMO. This is the same process that you used while doing the Observing Program with the Astronomical League (up to 36 hours).  Continue to submit your observations to the ALPO or IMO.

The requirements of the observations are the same.  You may submit them to the ALPO Meteor Section Coordinator  who can submit them to the database for you.  Or you can submit them directly to the IMO directly.  Instructions and Guidelines to do this with the IMO can be found by clicking here.

When you have done enough observations to qualify for the Astronomical League’s Citizen Science recognitions, follow the directions on the Citizen Science web page to report your successes to the Coordinator.  These are the levels of recognition available:

• 100 hours of Observations – Bronze Level
• 500 hours of Observations – Silver Level
• 1000 hours of Observations – Gold Level, Class 1
• 2000 hours of Observations – Gold Level, Class 2
• etc.

Keep track of your submssions to the ALPO or IMO.  When you have enough, please forward your documentation to the Coordinator.
