Abstract
Up to this point, for the most part, we looked at lunar meteor impact observing from an amateur astronomer’s perspective. We also surveyed the products of meteoroid impacts – craters – on the Moon and throughout the solar system. Background information of these, as well as observing techniques, has been presented. This chapter changes the focus a bit, brings in a little professional perspective, and discusses how amateurs and professionals can work together to make a significant contribution to lunar impact research.
