Does anyone have the information for Domefest 2009? When is it? Are there tickets available? This is my first fest, so I am clueless. Thanks! Best, Diana ...
Hi, all. The first of our classic analog-era planetarium shows, "Light Years From Andromeda," has become the last in the Loch Ness Productions catalog to be...
For those interested, we just announced an impending upgrade of our Digitarium digital planetarium computing platform. This offers increased flexibility for...
As I mentioned in a previous post, we have now added the audio tracks from the Impact Earth show to the sample movies at the Fulldome @ Home Run Pictures site....
... Just guessing, but it sounds like you are trying to build something rather than purchase from existing systems for projecting fulldome. There's a lot...
The deadline for registration, paper submission, and hotel reservations for SEPA 2009 is May 16. That's just one week from now! The conference is hosted by the...

I don't think there is a simple answer unless you get into the very high end - 3 chip dlp is better then any LCD I've used but 1 chip DLP vs lcd you really...
ah thanks. ifits a toss up between LCD and DLP then 3 chip DLPs it is. I've strayed away from soft edge blends until now. This will be a big help. Most...
... Er, I dunno. That's a fairly general (and possibly unsupportable) statement. As a guideline, fine, three-chip DLPs typically outperform single-chip DLPs....
... well, that would be invisible soft edge blends - without horrid grey overlay bands. I usually work a 20m (66ft) diameter dome with whatever projectors come...
Hi all, Just wanted to let you know that the ASTRONOMYTHS digital planetarium show is now available also from Evans & Sutherland Inc. (Michael Daut) and Zeiss...

I'm looking to build a multi-projector setup for an 11 metre mobile dome. Can anyone recommend a projector and/or lens combination for covering the entire...
... that's not a simple question - it really depends on what you're using to generate the signal to the projectors, edge blending, warping (if necessary) and...
... The number of projectors is determined by each projectors throw. The widest throw on good quality projectors is about 0.8:1. (distance to width). There are...
I'm surprised that Paul didn't mention the smallest number of projectors you can use on an 11m portable dome, and that is.... 1! (If you use his wonderful...
I think you'd need to test the projector in question to know.... Another thought would be to use something like the sony 10k lumen 4k resolution projector with...
... Paul, Do you know of any other short throw projectors,(make/model) perhaps of higher quality? We are looking for something along the Toshiba TDP-ET10U but...
Ben, I was also going to echo Patricia's remarks about our Mirrordome projection as a convenient, portable, and economic solution to full dome projection in a...
... Like I said in the other post ... if you can afford one of those then the mirror is not the way to go. But if you want a good laugh, I've uploaded a photo...
Hi Charles, We've got a Pacific dome with a metal frame. It might not be quite as portable as you're used to if you work with inflatables. It weighs about...
... The mirrordome projection system peaks at HD (or WUGXA) projectors, which everyone should be using anyway with the spherical mirror. HD projectors are...
... Yes, Paul did a beautiful job creating spherical mirror projection. It really was intended to help out planetariums that don't have much budget, but need...
Hello! Sorry if you see this request twice, but I am looking for a fulldome clip/video of how telescopes work. Does anyone have something like this? Thanks! ...
