... Mr. Paul Bourkes has explained to me, that some users want a dual-screen setup with the same image on both outputs: one for projection and one for an...
Not sure what projector your using, but every one I've ever seen has a switch for front and rear projection. Just picking "rear projection" will reverse the...
... Greg, I did not found nothing so far, but i will try to make a simple computer program to reproduce the curves. I will let you know for any advance. Hiram...
Hiram, Just to let you know there is someone else on the list who would love to get hold of a dome gore master. I want to make an plastic inflatable one...
For what they're worth, I've collected these links (when I was investigating geodome vs gores) http://home.att.net/~csandfort/dome.htm (one persons efforts) ...
Nev, Thanks for the links. The planet_globe link is very promising. I shall try out my theory in the next month (currently on holidays at the moment and the...
Greg, et. all: I'm got the formula I used for my test dome and am going to use for my large dome over at AstroSkies.com forum. The small 4 ft. diameter test...
Wow Ron! That's fantastic! I'm curious how you bent your steel rods so perfectly. How come you decided to depart from them with your larger dome? Thanks, ...
Actually Perter, the rods are under tension. If you took them out they would pretty much straighten out. The upper and lower support hold them in place and...
I think Ron you hit the nail on the head when it comes to VOLUME... my own small dome made of overlapping paneling was easy, but double the size and suddenly...
Hey Ron, Nice work! I have a couple of thoughts for you and others contemplating this route: 1) Goto, Inc. used to make an umbrella dome. I'm not sure if they ...
Hey I have a burning question. How on earth did you get the fabric on the rods. Did you slide them in place somehow? Hope you didn't have to sew the top...
If you look again at the close up picture of the dome material, you will see the "loop of cloth" which is sewn in at each gore point. This is totally finished...
Thanks Karrie, I did look at that 10 foot portable dome that GOTO makes (they still do as of six months ago) but I really wanted something bigger. Also its...
I do hear you on this one. The small one was basically made just to see if all the calculations held true. The gores for the large dome will be something...
good suggestion RW, my problem was i built the biggest shed i could (my latters and reach being the limiting factor, bucket trucks are expensive!), then filled...
Hey Ron, I'm glad you like the tent pole idea. You're somewhat limited by the length of each section of pole, but the sections can vary by a couple of inches....
I am in the process of constructing an inflatable dome for an outreach program for the KidsKnowIt Network (http://www.kidsknowit.com) which will be taken to...
Another couple questions, I like the idea by Karrie to use tent poles to support the weight of the dome while the door is open. Do you mind sharing how many...
Hi all, As many of you know, I am the manager for a resort/family camp in the California Sierra (www.mslodge.com). The resort was recently sold, and the new...
Count me and my family in. Sounds like a good time. Plus, I would really love to see everyone's domes. ... the ... and ... well ... resort ... have ... an ...
Just a follow up. I purchased 90 yards of canvas last night. I got 10 oz canvas for only $4.45 a yard. The rolls are 60" wide. I decided to go with a ...
For those who have tried both, which is better? The dome will be 20" in diameter. Which is brighter? Which covers more of the dome? Which is better able to...
Hey, I'm close enough to actually go to that! When you get an "official" announcement set up, let me know and I can forward it to several educator mailing...

Hi, I tried to respond yesterday, but my browser crashed just before I sent the message. I'll try to recreate what I had yesterday. We have three tent pole...
Thank you. Your advice as been extremely helpful. I have actually expanded the design from 16" to 20", so the tent poles would be that much larger. I am...
If anyone can help with the stellarium WIKI, I have a landscape you are more than welcome to post. I am not smart enough to figure out how to get it posted on...
