Abstract
Suggestions and examples are given for photometric and spectrographic programs with 0.5 - 1.0m telescopes, both at poor and at good sites. The importance is stressed of coordination between observers at sites spread over a region or around the world. As an example of the latter, the Whole Earth Telescope group and their successful observing programs are described.
