[APML] ASTROPHOTOGRAPHER??

["Jim and Jan Gamble" <gamble@peoplepc.com>]

Situation: Someone takes a photo of an eclipse...maybe an aurora... but is
otherwise generally inactive in telescopy and/or photography. Is this person
an "astrophotographer"?
  This question arises after a local newspaper printed a picture of the
recent solar eclipse, taken by a person who is not involved in telescopy,
has a general knowledge of astronomy and only takes pics of general events
as mentioned above, but was attributed by the paper as being an
astrophotographer.
  Thoughts?
