Hi To All I have just added this group to my growing list of groups on astronomical subjects. I have always been fascinated by planitariums since I first saw...
Hi Barry, Welcome to the group! I think you joined about 10 minutes after I started the group. Have you started construction of a planetarium yet? I have...

Hi Greg It will be some time before I am able to start my small planetarium. I just paid out $A11000 to send my partner to Wimbledon to see the tennis this...

I'm afraid l've slid into this interest in small planetariums by teaching at junior high and high schools. They have not always been successful, but I've...

Hi Greg et Al I would love to have a big specially designed planetarium but that would be a mammoth and expensive project. The way I see it is to have a small...

Hi Yves, Thanks so much for updating your website (see the Links Page)with the new drawings. They really help explain the layout of the planetarium. I think...
I thought I would mention. In experimenting with different dome construction ( Geodesic, Soccor ball, etc )I found I ended up with a lot of waste material....
for reply to greg, i will use planetarium for many reasons: I have 3 children. sometimes I intervene in their school to make "discover astronomy amateur" . 5...
Yves Lhoumeau, Thank you for your web page, your screen would work well in a classroom. Do you use a wide angle or a fish eye lens on the projector? Thanks ...
This is a question I have. Does anyone have any knowledge of how to warp the Stellarium software? When reflecting off the hemispherical mirror, there is...
Hi Terry, Now we're talking! This is something that has been driving me crazy for about two months now. As you have noticed, Stellarium must be "warped" to...
