Hi Johannes, That's great news! I think I can speak for the group when I say that we cannot thank you enough for the work you have done. I have viewed the CVS...

Hello Johannes, this is Ramon from Mexico. First of all, thanks a lot for all the great work you guys had been doing with stellarium. I had been waiting for...
My God! Twinking stars! Meteor shows! I just got back from a funeral, so I'm afraid I'm feeling a bit fried right now. But on what I've just seen, you've got a...

Hi folks, A little while ago, Greg asked me about the sewing patterns I used for my dome cover. Well, I didn't really have any, but I said I'd update my blog...
Hi All, I am the treasurer of an Astronomy club near Toronto in Canada, www.drastronomy.com, and am very new to the home build planetarium game. We do a...
... Stellariums spheric_mirror projection is done in the following way. (I assume you use a projector with 1024x768 pixels.) 1) render a fisheye image with...
First of all, let me just say "WOW" to the work and acomplishments of this group. Thank You all for the tremendous work you all have done. I am completely...
Hey! Neato! I always wondered if there were calculations to use to make a dome. Beats trying to duplicate my little 14" globe. As a further suggestion, the...
Let me just start by apologizing for my ignorance. Are the optics the same for Capturing images and film with a fisheye lens the same the optics in fisheye...
Howdy That's a question I've often wondered myself. I've mounted a 10mm Spiratone, and a 40mm Kenko, on the front of my projector, and, although I could get...
... Terry, Thanks for responding. Now is that due to the fact that most commecial projectors, like my Infocus X1, project out at a 45 degree angle instead of...
... Yo Alex OK.... Anyone from Digitalis want to jump in here?.... This is getting into the scary science of optics, which can be pretty heavy stuff- well out...
Hi Johannes, Greg here. I'm having trouble with my dome, so I cannot show you good pictures of the projected image at this time. I thought the dome I built...
Hi Alex, Welcome to the group! I would have to say that the simple answer to your question is no. I read somewhere on another forum, in a response from the...
Hi Marnix, Thanks so much for updating your blog with those images! No problem about the delay. I have been on vacation anyway. The more I think about your...

Hi everyone, Sorry for the delayed response--I was once again out of town. I'm not an optical engineer either. However, from my experience, if you can put a...
Hi again, all, I'm not sure how I overlooked this message, but I guess better a late response than none at all. Loch Ness Productions, who create and sell...
Hi all, I posted some images of my dome v1.0 in the Photos section. Please take a look because I would love some feedback. Dome description: The dome is a 16'...
... That is really cool looking Greg. I am very imppressed. I hope you don' mind if I ask a few questions. What Frequency fomula did you go with 3V or 4V? How...
Hi Alex, Thanks for the comments. I used the 3v dome calculator from Desert Domes http://www.desertdomes.com/index.html I debated using the 4v domes and the...
Greg, Nice job it certainly looks good! However, how safe do you feel inside of it and what kind of forces can it withstand. The fact that is looks very solid...
Good points! That is the kind of feedback that really helps. The dome v1 is made from 1/8" plywood and the individual panels are quite flexible. I assemble the...
Good job, Greg! I hope the "doing" was as much fun as the "done". I was just thinking. You know all that cardboard that is used to ship fridges, stoves, grand...
Greg, please forgive my ignorance. I just want to make sure I got the Dome calculator figured out (never was any good at math). I'm thinking about a 4V...
Hi Alex, I think you are correct. The assembly diagram on the Desert Domes site has a picture. I counted the different triangles even though that calculator...
