Shumaker or Levy. I think technically they are amateur astronomers.David Levy (it sez here) is indeed an amateur astronomer, and Eugene Shoemaker (deceased) was a geologist, and Carolyn Shoemaker was trained as an astronomer. Carolyn has the most comet discoveries of any person in history (the record is now held by a machine, and it will be forever).
