The Internet is an essential tool of amateur astronomers.

With the development of fast Internet in the last part of the 20th century along with advances in computer controlled telescope mounts and CCD cameras ' Remote Telescope ' astronomy is now a viable means for amateur astronomers not aligned with major telescope facilities to partake in research and deep sky imaging.

The digital data collected by the telescope is then transmitted and displayed to the user by means of the Internet.

An example of a digital remote telescope operation for public use via the Internet is the The Bareket Observatory.

A relatively recent role for amateur astronomers is searching for overlooked phenomena ( e. g., Kreutz Sungrazers ) in the vast libraries of digital images and other data captured by Earth and space based observatories, much of which is available over the Internet.
