Airmass and useful observations

I noticed that in some of my observations, the magnitude as shown in the report is markedly lower than the "consensus" of magnitudes in the light curve. Along wth this, I've noticed that these observations have a much higher airmass (say 1.9) vs the consensus of 1.3 or lower. Is there an airmass value at which point you should forget about submission of an observation (since airmass affects the magnitude of the star). Or am I way off base in my thinking?
