Planetarium
Optical Planetarium Projector
Optical planetarium projector takes its external shape similar to a dumbbell, with a multitude of star projection lenses on both spheres at its extremity, projecting the visible stars and the Milky Way.
Star Theater Planetarium
The planetarium is also called "star theater planetarium". It uses the optical projection method to project the fixed star plates onto the spherical dome screen and form a real starry sky visible to the naked eye, which facilitates the basic knowledge teaching of various astronomy and geography.
High Precision Star Ball Projector Planetarium
The high precision star ball projector planetarium is also called "star theater planetarium". It uses the optical projection method to project the fixed star plates onto the spherical dome screen and form a real starry sky visible to the naked eye, which facilitates the basic knowledge teaching of various astronomy and geography.
Planetarium Star Celestial Projector
Demonstrating any latitude on earth to see the sky conditions, realistic simulation, it is the ideal equipment for astronomy and geography teaching.
Planetarium Projector
The planetarium adopts our company's forming panel splicing technology to build the dome screen, which can be composed by using our company's planetarium projector (optical planetarium projector). It can realistically demonstrate the astronomical "common phenomenon" visible anywhere on the earth.

Keep a minimum distance around the device for sufficient ventilation. Ensure sufficient space for projector placement and proper alignment with the dome's center.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
The dome surface must be clean, smooth, and properly aligned for optimal image projection.
Maintain a controlled environment with appropriate temperature and humidity to ensure equipment longevity.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the product. Dry location use only.
Properly secure the projector and associated equipment to avoid accidents and provide clear instructions to the audience regarding viewing protocols.
