[amsat-bb] Re: Can we get them to fix AO-40 first then?

[Samudra Haque]

There is no need for any specialised photo intelligence assets, simple
telescopes with enough F/D and gain will do, there are many amateur
astronomers who have imaged craters on the moon (e.g.., google
astrophotography) also see

Question is do we have any amateur astronomer who is also amsat enthusiast ?
