David,

Welcome to the exciting world of Variable Star Observing!

Unfortunately your AL membership does not include membership in the AAVSO.  However, while membership has its’ benefits, you do not have to be a member In order to report your observations.  You will need to apply for observer initials to report observations, whether a member or not.

Membership page:

http://www.aavso.org/aavso-membership

You will find a link for requesting observer initials in the left hand box,  For New Observers:

You also might want to check out some of the other links on this last url as well as the: Getting Started tab on the AAVSO main page.

Good Luck with your new adventure of discovery.
