Just got back from the Franklin Institute's Fels Planetarium and I swear my Homestar PURE had more and crisper stars. Of course, the planetarium had the dome and the 180° projection, but it looked soft and the Milky way was simply a grey wash with no granularity. The added affects were great, but when it came to feeling like I was under the stars, the Homestar struck a better chord.
Surprising!! - j
(of course, I'm assuming this is simply pointing to the fact that the Franklin Institute needs to update their planetarium. They used to have a "Giant Ant" (Zeiss Optical), but have gone digital, which seems to be code for *BLEEP*.)

12" Green Goblin (trusser w/Protstar secondary and OWL refigured primary)• 6" f/5 Eero2 ball-scope • 6" f/5 Frankenscope • Garrett Optical 10x50 binos • Edmund 8" yoke-mounted red-tube reflector • Edmund 6" GEQ red-tube reflector (on loan to Dad)
Gone, but with lessons learned:
Skyquest XT8 • NexSTar 8i • Eeroscope 6" f/5 ball(sacrifice was not in vain) • Vixen ED80sf • Edmund red-tube 4.25" f/10 • Edmund Astroscan
Facts are stubborn things.
