Abstract

Most dedicated amateur astronomers involved in gathering and submitting data do so within their own observatories and with the convenience of their own permanently mounted equipment. We will discuss the differences between two observing locations. One without the conveniences of personally- owned equipment in a backyard observatory and one with two well equipped observatories. We will show that the quality of data is similar regardless of the physical set up. One common thread between these two locations is the dedication and desire to do exoplanet work by the two amateurs. This paper describes their challenges, observing processes, and compares the data collected.
