So I don't expect it to turn up in the Sunday Times
I reckon you could have told the Journo that he headline is:
Pictures of stars full of gas !

Congrats on your exhibition
Hope you sell lots!

Great exhibition Roger and a big well done for your first!
The pics were well presented and made it worth the trip. It was good to be able to put a face to the name and I enjoyed talking to you.

Next time how about you fill the entire dome, LOL, now that would be awsome.

Again well done and we'll see you around the skies somewhere.

Only very rarely Sean, unfortunately I still have a full time job to attend, which fortunately pays for things like the exhibition I have been there once on one Sunday, and will be there probably one more time mid to late July, or perhaps during the school holidays.

Roger.

Well, my exhibition is almost over. Finishes next week. I'd been meaning to share some pics of it but hadn't got to it, so last night I web-sized a few very quickly to post here today.

It's very hard to photograph them due to reflections and so on.

They look great Roger. Well done!

Did you make many sales through the exhibition?

Very limited sales unfortunately. I sold significantly more prior to the exhibition than during the exhibition, it's like the exhibition came along and the demand suddenly dried up Maybe they'll start selling again after the exhibition is finished It's been a good experience overall though, something I just had to try given the opportunity. An opportunity I couldn't pass up.

Thanks Jase, appreciate your reply.

At this stage there's no plans of it being displayed at other venues (here or east). I'll take a look at what's left when it ends and re-assess where to go from there.

Roger, what a sensational effort, that exhibition looks first class.

The NGC panels look fantastic

Actually, even these photos of the photographic exhibition are great work, very clear .

Congratulations

Mike

Exhibition looks very spiffy Roger.

The reporters headline could have been...

'New blockbuster from universal pictures'

Thank you very much for your kind words Mike, Carl, Jen and Molly. I really wasn't expecting more replies to this! Carl... I wouldn't often admit I'm proud of something of mine, but I have to admit after all the effort it took to get the exhibition up and going I am proud of the result.

..and sorry to Jase for previously mis-spelling your name... confusing spelling with someone at work
