________________________

Looking for new supernovae is one of the most competitive areas of amateur astronomy. Doing follow-up photometry is almost as useful but is far less stressful. Novae hunting is less high profile but again offers significant scope for amateur participation - particularly in the area of long term multi-colour observations.
