System 1024 Star Projector

The Spitz System 1024 is one of the industry's most popular mid-sized planetariums, based on Spitz' earlier System 512, which has an installed user base of more than 150 instruments. Reliability, ease-of-use and affordability make the System 1024 the ideal choice for universities, science/cultural centers, museums, and schools, particularly when a tilted dome is preferred or already in place.

The System 1024 is designed for domes ranging from 24 to 58 feet in diameter. The system includes instrument, control console, and ATM-4 automation system. It provides a complete, flexible environment for education and entertainment.

The star projector produces crisp, realistic, pin-point stars, from Sirius, the brightest star, through selected stars in the fifth and sixth visual magnitude. The starball can be drilled with varying amounts of stars up to 4054. Star clusters, nebulae, galaxies and the Milky Way are also faithfully reproduced. Commonly used reference projections (equatorial coordinates, ecliptic and meridian) are standard features.

System 1024 Console

The System 1024 control console offers convenient access to all functions of the planetarium instrument and other equipment in the theater - with manual controls and keyboard/automation control. The tactile buttons and knobs are illuminated and logically arranged for simple, hands-on use.

System options include video projection systems, e-Media for ATM-4, theater sound, lighting, and more.
