Digital Starlab

All-in-one Digital Projection Solution for Small Domes



The StarlabĀ® has been creating memories long before any other portable planetarium. First invented in the late 1970s, it has had a long and colorful history. With it, over a million students have gotten their first, and in many cases only, in depth look at a unspoiled night sky. The world has changed over the past 30 years, and so has the sky. Light pollution is now a problem for virtually every student or amateur astronomer. It is rare to find students, at any grade level, who have regularly seen the milky way with their own eyes.

Starry Night is the best astronomy software available. Countless students have gotten a perfect view of the universe through their computers using this tool. Now, this incredible platform is usable inside a planetarium dome! Using a version of the software called Starry Night Small Dome, we are able to project stunning and highly accurate astronomical simulations right inside your very own planetarium.

The planetarium version of Starry Night is also fully compatible with the desktop version. If your student does a project using a regular computer, he can then display it in the dome for the whole class to see. No other portable planetarium integrates as neatly with the classroom.
