The Go-Anywhere Mobile Package
The Cosmodome system includes all the equipment you need to set up a
Planetarium or Theatre, whether it is fixed or mobile, large or smaller.
The total equipment can be fitted within small vehicles for travelling
operations (see photographs).
Software Programs
Now that the main astronomy programs are available at no cost direct from
the Web, the Swinburne package is no longer needed or available.

for software downloads.
Computers and Projectors
For reasons of cost-saving, warranty, and service, we recommend that
clients obtain their needs from local sources. We are always ready
to offer advice on types and brand advantages.
Mirror and Projector Stand
We recommend the single projector with mirror system. Constructed from durable
lightweight aluminum, the Mirage stand folds to a compact unit that
protects the mirror in transit, yet is assembled in a flash!
The Mirage uses patented versatile mounting towers for both mirror and
projector, and adjustment is multi-directional. This mean it can be
adapted for a wide range of projectors, of different sizes or left, central, or
right lens positions. The mirror system has rigid construction to avoid
image shake, and provides ample ventilation for any chosen
projector.
Inflatable Domes
We offer a wide range of domes for various activity, and in sizes from 5
meters to 9 metres diameter. These are designed for wrinkle-free inner
surface for ideal projection, safety, and easy access, even for
wheelchairs.
The 5-metre holds about 30 children, so can take one full class plus their own
teacher. We also offer a fire test certificate for the domes.
See here for more on domes.
We can also supply or recommend the inflation blower fans.
Full Dome Movies
We are worldwide distributors for many well known producers, and supply
movies to assist with many different school curriculum subjects.
See here for our movie library listings.
We can also offer advice should customers decide to make their own
in-house movies.
Staffing
Generally, experience shows that only one person is required for a mobile
system. The equipment is easily handled, and is readily mobile. Set-up
time is around 30 minutes after arrival at a visited venue. Where
operation are in public areas, such as shopping malls, it is advisable to
have a second person for crowd supervision and security. Please contact us
for further advice.
