Welcome BAAACK to The Astrocast! This week, Roo sits down with the founder of MLAstro, Minh Nguyen! Minh started his company in Vietnam and has done a phenomenal job so far, and is looking to challenge the big guys in this field with his awesome equipment. You can check out Minh's work at MLAstro.

This is a VERY in depth conversation that may not be for the brand new to the hobby, but I think for those of us who are interested in what goes in to starting a company like this, this is first hand knowledge you truly won't find anywhere else. Furthermore - Minh is just an awesome guy who is doing amazing work for the community, and for that, i truly commend him.
