Fulldome Video Page

Several folks active in the planetarium (and more generally, dome theater) biz have started a page about fulldome video, which is still very much in its nascent stages. The talk page is the most interesting bit at this point. Ryan Wyatt 13:51, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Proposal to restructure this article

What a straggly article this has become - there is some good stuff in it, but it now seems unstructured. Anyone object to me moving the list of planetaria to a new page, and perhaps separating out some of the other sections to make it more readable? Infilms 17:54, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Virtual planetarium

Can Google Sky be considered as a virtual planetarium? 59.184.159.242 (talk) 10:06, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Starry Night

(Section heading added by me. --Daggerstab (talk) 21:24, 26 February 2009 (UTC)) The planetarium software for Starry Night currently points to a page about a Van Gogh painting. Is there anywhere better that this link could be pointed? Izogi 08:42, 4 April 2005 (UTC)

A casual search doesn't reveal any article other than the Van Gogh, so I've unlinked the bullet item until someone writes the article. That would be the cue for some bold editor... :-) (Don't forget to disambiguate!) Atlant 13:26, 4 April 2005 (UTC)

Improving the references

A possible source of references is the "Selected Articles" archive of the Planetarian, the journal of the International Planetarium Society, available at their website. --Daggerstab (talk) 21:27, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Software

According to http://www.stellarium.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#How_can_I_set_a_particular_date_without_clicking_the_year_button_hundreds_of_times.3F , changing the date will show another star configuration, however doesn't the location also change the configuration ? I'm wondering whether the software can be used for teaching the locations of navigations stars (for navigating at night). However, there are several navigation stars and depending on the location, only a few are visible. Also, I'm guessing that if you look for them and only see certain ones, you can already determine an approximate location 91.182.225.103 (talk) 17:31, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
