DETAILS
The EMERALD™ PORTABLE PLANETARIUM dome provides a matte projection surface which
hides wrinkles for high quality digital projection. The gray interior enhances the black level of
digital projectors for a truer black night sky.
The structure supports people's entrance and exit to the dome, the dome should stay inflated for
quite some time.
We recommend entering any audience members in wheelchairs first, by lifting the side of the
dome and wheeling them under. This avoids unnecessary wear on the fabric near the door.
Set up takes about 15 minutes, and take down from 10-15 minutes. In case of emergency, the
dome can be flipped over the audience within a few seconds since there is no floor on the dome.
Alternately, people can duck under the skirt of the dome to exit quickly.
Although the domes are opaque, they can acquire a pinhole light leak over time. These are
usually visible only in a bright room. A pinhole is easily patched with a small circle of the extra
cloth provided.
It is advised to turn off any light or heat source above the dome.
We advise against using the domes outdoors.
