Hi Barry, Ooops, sorry. I deleted that file because I thought Ramon was finished with it. I re-uploaded it just now (is that a word?) It's on the Files page. ...

Hi Barry, I have not tried doing anything with the sky cultures, so I'm afraid I will not be much help there. Sounds like you might not have to fool around...

Hi Greg I just borrowed 256 Mb of memory out of one of my other computers. That did the trick. The new version is going to need at least 512 MB of memory. I...
Hello Greg, this is Ramón, I'd been out of my city for the last two weeks so I couldn't be in touch with you guys. Excellent news you gave to me about that...
Hi Barry, That's great news! It's amazing what extra RAM will do for performance. I'm taking my box down to the local computer shop today. I want a CPU...

Hi Marnix, I have been thinking about your geodesic tent project lately. I finished my plywood/Velcro dome a few days ago. It works OK, but it is not as easy...
... Hi Greg, ... Well, I wouldn't recommend having schoolchildren set up a tent like that without at least two adults supervising. I've set up my tent a couple...
Hi Marnix, Thanks for the advice. If I have children set up the dome there will be plenty of teachers and parents around to supervise. When we set up my...
Hi Everyone, I am interested in pursing working with the dome mirror projections, but I'm curious as to what size of dome mirror works best for this. I've...
Hi Bryan, I am not sure if there is a best size for the spherical mirror. I used an 18" mirror, which, I believe, is the same size used by the MirrorDome...
Well, I completed the first step of the project. Last week I ordered an 18 inch 180 degree dome from a local safety vendor. It arrived yesterday and I picked...
I know from the Stellarium forum that there has been a couple of comments that sound files don't always work from within Stellarium. Just wanted to post what I...

Hi Johannes I got the 1/8 mirror basicly because I'm really cheap. The one you see is actually my second one. With the smaller first one, 1/8 as well, I played...
Just thought I'd mention, for the past few weeks, the Fulldome.org forum has been really buzzing with discussions between the professionals. It gives a really...
