StarDome
Owner, Director & Senior Presenter
Mr Andrew Green B.Sc (Hons) FRAS
Andy with Professor Brian Cox
Why Choose OUR! StarDome?
In the last few years we have noticed that quite a few "other dome operators" have started to call themselves by our name!
However!
whilst we are flattered they should try to copy us!
Ours IS THE "Original" StarDome with over 24 years of operations in the UK and abroad
Whilst they may use our name spell and write it the same to try and drum up business, they are not us nor ever will be.
Another planetarium operator was recently overheard to say:
"Beware of "Fly by Night" operators who promise the world and deliver nothing"
Or as we like to call them - "All the gear and no idea people"
Our reputation, the respect for us and our credentials are there for all to see.
Originally establisehd in 1994 we operate one of of the longest established mobile/travelling planetariums and astronomy presentation businesses in the whole UK
so beware those who copy! they will NEVER be us!
