Is That a Planetarium: Or is Your Lamp on Steroids?

By Gary Likert

Home Planetariums are both a niche with NO name and a niche with so many names, it may well be invisible. Yet there are a dedicated few enthusiasts that build and operate planetariums, star theaters, and related equipment at home, in their backyards, or wherever space can be found. In this opening salvo into this strange hobby, we take a look at the world's first organized group of home planetarians, the Home Planetarium Association. Next, we examine a few of the overriding philosophies such a group follows, leading to a kind of manifesto of a belief system that would marry the best of the analog days gone by with the digital wave that seems here to stay. Finally, the famous DIY aspect of the hobby is addressed in an easy to follow format that outlines just a few choices that can be made to get started. Come with me now on this Journey!
