Hi Jen,

My wife is always giving me a hard time over exactly this question.

I have had photo's published in the US Sky & Telescope, the old Sky & Space and various other publications, they were back when people actually used 35mm film.

I have posted my Solar System images on various forums and the BBC News website has a nice slide show of my images with a commentary by me that they recorded over the top.

Since Feb 2008 all of my Saturn storm images have gone to either the University Of Iowa or The Austrian Academy of Sciences for use by their researchers and comparison with the radio data they receive on the storms from the Cassini spacecraft. I get a buzz from my involvement in their research project.

I love making animations of Saturn and Jupiter and use them around the schools and with my astronomy group.

I have a few images on Sky & Telescopes website on their Solar System page.

I suppose I see the greatest use of my work as being used to introduce others to astronomy at the school and community level.
I have not actually printed out many of my images, however I have incorporated many into various Power Point presentations that I have put together.

Like most others I have a lot of data storage, currently about 2.5 TB mostly in satellite drives, although recently I had an accident with a 350 GB drive and lost all of the data on it, a very sad day.

I store all of my data as I keep refining my capture and processing technique and often find that I can produce better images from older data than I could at that time.

Cheers
Trevor
