Visual Moonbounce development
The way it was formulated suggested that the technique of visual moonbounce was developed by De Paulis, which it wasn't.

OPTICKS was developed on top of, and thus after the development of visual moonbounce, which is a technique based on the combination of EME and SSTV. The paper in Leonardo, to which "84.83.37.60" refers does NOT state that she developed the technique.

De Paulis inquired about the possibilities of using EME for video in 2009, but calculations quickly showed that given the link budget in EME, this is not possible.

Based on her question, radio amateurs at the Dwingeloo radio telescope then started refining the combination of EME and SSTV, which resulted in visual moonbounce, but De Paulis was not involved in this activity.

Only after the technique showed promising results, De Paulis developed OPTICKS.
