RE: [small_planetarium] Trying to Find Media for Small Dome Fisheye Projection


Hi Ken,

> I have put together a fisheye projection system based on the Lhoumeau Sky
System in a 9 ft dome
>that I built in my spare bedroom. I would like to put together a second LSS
setup in the museum
>planetarium. I would also like to run prepackaged video in the museum, but the
fees that are
>charged for these videos are considerable. There is a license fee and a format
fee. The format fee
>is $1024 for 1024 by 1024 resolution. License fees run from about $1000 to
$3000.

Great! If you have photos of your system, we would be interested to view it
(Yves Lhoumeau & I).

> I can do a lot with the Nightshade program provided by Digitalis Education
Solutions, and I am
>very grateful to their generosity in providing this software without charge. I
would appreciate any
>advice that anyone can give on how to avail myself of other fulldome resources
without cleaning out
>my savings.
