Stellarium

practical implementation with spherical mirror

Asked by Jean RICHELLE

Hello,

Does anybody has a practical experience of using Stellarium for a dome planetarium ?

I'd like to have practical information for the use of Stellarium with a small dome : e.g. specification of the spherical mirror and of the projector, etc.

Best regards,

Jean

There is a page in the Stellarium wiki, but it seems to be out of date and some of the links are broken:
http://www.stellarium.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_your_own_dome_using_Stellarium%27s_spheric_mirror_distortion_feature

Here is an up-to-date link to Paul Bourke's spherical mirror projection page:
http://paulbourke.net/miscellaneous/domemirror/
Includes a FAQ and a page about using Stellarium.
