Organizations

IAPPP
http://www.hposoft.com/IAPPP/IAPPP.html
The International Amateur-Professional Photoelectric Photometry (IAPPP) association was formed in June 1981 to coordinate astronomical photoelectric photometry data and information for both amateur and professional astronomers. Membership is open to anyone interested in astronomical photoelectric photometry. Dues include copies of the quarterly journal the IAPPP Communications. Membership is $25/yr check (payable to I.A.P.P.P.) Douglas S. Hall I.A.P.P.P. Subscriptions Dyer Observatory 1000 Oman Drive Brentwood, TN 37027

AAVSO
http://www.aavso.org/
The American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) is a worldwide, nonprofit, scientific and educational organization of amateur and professional astronomers who are interested in variable stars. Its purpose is to coordinate, collect, evaluate, analyze, publish, and archive variable star observations made largely by amateur astronomers, and to make these observations available to professional astronomers, researchers, and educators.

WGPAC
http://www.aas.org/wgpac/index.html
The Working Group for Professional Amateur Collaboration (WGPAC) provides a forum for collaboration between amateur and professional observational astronomers.

CBA
http://cba.phys.columbia.edu/
The Center for Backyard Astrophysics (CBA) is a global network of small telescopes dedicated to photometry of catalysmic variables.

SAS (Formerly IAPPP - West)
http://socastrosci.org/Default.htm
The Society for Astronomical Sciences (SAS) can trace its roots to the International Amateur-Professional Photoelectric Photometry (IAPPP). The role of the IAPPP was to facilitate collaborative astronomical research between amateur, student, and professional astronomers, by providing a medium for the exchange of practical information not normally discussed at symposia or published in other journals. SAS helps to continues that role.
