Michelle, I posted the following a few days before your post.
-----------------
About a month ago, I believe I came across a small table-top planetarium
for something less than $2000. As I recall, it had no dome, but it may
have had some satisfactory substitute. In any case, does anyone know of
such devices? The idea would be to put int on the main floor of our
small museum, and pretty much have it self operating. We probably could
put it into a dark enclosure that a small number of people could duck
into or walk into.
-----------------
Do you have any ideas on it?
