Hi Ron - does your minolta project constellation art? If so, could you post a couple of pictures?
Neither of my projectors have constellation art projectors. I have started to tackle the problem - I found a company that will convert digital images to 35mm slides or even viewmaster sized slides at a reasonable price. I have a plan (perhaps another half baked plan) to use the 12V supply on the ZKP1 planet ring to power some very small projectors. My wife has kindly agreed to draw some test images (Cygnus and Orion) which I will digitize, reduce and get made into slides. I expect a round or two of experimentation with getting the sizes right (or at least good enough).

I actually added a bunch of extra projectors so now can project about twenty of them. Will do a thread on that. Out now to watch the clouds darken.

Thank you Ron. I hope you get a wonderful view. We had a total eclipse in Cornwall in 1999 - sadly it was totally clouded out from where I was watching - still a very unearthly experience though. We have had a partial (couple of percent) today but cloud cover was 100% anyway.
