'sup /sci/. The new Planetarian adaptation made me wonder something--how hard it is to find a planetarium that actually uses its star projector these days? Every one I've been to just shows an iMax movie on the dome, even if they have a brand new star projector like the Hayden in New York.
Do I have to look for particular shows or what? This is getting impossible.

Didn't know of this animu, will check it out, cheers.
Regarding your post, maybe black science man aka NDT knows the answer to your question, hit him up on twatter.

Some are still in operation.
Moscow Planetarium, Moscow, Russia
Zeiss Mark IX Projector was acquired in 2010, the planetarium was renovated and opened to the public in 2011.

Lots of places have them, but they don't use them. Not flashy enough.

Pretty sure my old planetarium still uses it.
It looks like it was built in the 50s.
Very classic

But do they also have an HD video system?

Not since I've been there (I guess that was more than a couple years).
They never had a huge budget, so the displays have to do most of the work.

That's the thing. A big planetarium now has 3D imax shit. You go to one and see a movie of NDT talking about black holes instead of an actual star projection.

They don't even project the stars as part of the Imax show?
Maybe with enlarged planets and galaxies?
I've been to a couple large planetariums, they at least had a show about stars. IIRC we zoomed into a place in the sky and looked at what the planet/galaxy/star looked like (with added color ofc).
