I agree. The professional and amateur Astronomy community is a large
one, and having a spin targetting that community directly would be a
very good marketing move. I am very much for this (and not an
Astronomer).
I like the idea also, and by suggesting alternatives I didn't mean to
indicate a tepid opinion.
