Museums' Emmons HPA Planetarium Projector

This one of a kind projector has been donated to the museum from the Home Planetarium Association and Mr. Gary Likert. The projector was built in 1995 and features the second to the last Emmons starball ever produced. This projector will provide inspiration and serves as an excellent example of what can be done in the home by talented individuals. This projector is continually undergoing reconstruction and we post new pictures frequently. When completed this machine will then proudly take its place along side the commercial planetarium projectors and take its place in history as well.
