At the risk of seeming pedantic, I don't think this activity of
observing and photographing satellites is really science, because it
does not consist of discovering new truths about the natural world,
but rather of observing and analyzing man-made objects. However the
desire for accuracy and for avoiding self-deception is the same as
the basic sine-qua-non of good science. Thus there is a lot in
common.
