I'd really like to see that show, despite his website.

Wow. Just a couple days ago, elsewhere a completely different post about planetarium projectors sent me off on a hunt for the old projector used at the Bishop Planetarium, which I have fond memories of. There it is on the website, the Spitz STP.
So thanks for that bit of synchronicity.
I wish I could remember its nickname; it was "The Beast" or "The Death Star" or something imposing like that. :D It was an awesome planetarium, but they've gone 100% digital now.

I'm not the only one who was increasingly alarmed by the size of the font in the first link, am-- am I?
My last visit to a planetarium ended in disappointment when the projector sat still and didn't do much. There was a show with stars and planets being shined onto the ceiling and stuff but it stayed switched off.
100% digital
D:
I guess I missed the viewing window for this kind of stuff, eh?
