Beautiful LED planetarium

Hi!
Here`s another approach of building a fine small Planetarium:
the people in Augsburg placed 2000 LED`s inside a Dome and the results are nice! They also built some other devices (Milky-way projector f.e.) and I´m sure they`ll be ready to help out when you have questions about related problems.
The link is as follows:
www.astronomische-vereinigung-augsburg.de/planetarium/

by the way... there are some fanatics in this place! Augsburg counts three (3!!!) Planetariums... An "official" Planetarium ( with "sky scan"-system) which can be found here:
www.sska.net/ifb/planetarium/

and another small one with a GOTO E-5 inside a high-school

The first one is most interesting. I'm not at all sure if I would be happy with a system where the sky never moved.
