Loch Ness Productions is an innovative company that features the talents of several of the planetarium community's "stellar attractions".

It was started in 1977 by Mark C. Petersen, then the Composer-in-Residence at Boulder's Fiske Planetarium. Many pleased planetarium patrons came up to the console after the shows, asking where they could obtain the music they had heard during the programs. Since it was original music composed just for the shows, Mark noted the most-requested selections, and released the first of the GEODESIUM series of albums.

Over the years, Loch Ness Productions has added other planetarium production materials to the catalog. Since its founding, more than 800 planetaria in the U.S. and 47 other countries have purchased programs, images, and/or music from Loch Ness Productions -- an unsurpassed and ongoing record for an independent planetarium production company.

More than a million planetarium patrons have experienced Loch Ness Productions planetarium programs. "ALL SYSTEMS GO!", "The Mars Show", "The Voyager Encounters", "Larry Cat In Space", "More Than Meets The Eye", "'Tis The Season" have each sold in excess of 100 copies, and many are still presented at planetaria both large and small.
