In the planetarium field, modern advances in digital image processing have brought major changes in both production and projection systems. Yet through all the format wars and pioneering technology, our aim has always been to provide our customers with the best quality imagery to use in our shows. So unlike show packages of yesteryear, we're now distributing Light Years From Andromeda with all images in digital form, recorded on data CD.

If your planetarium is all-digital, these elements are your virtual slides. Drop them into your virtual slide trays, and you're ready to program the show.

But if your planetarium has the classic slide-projector based systems, our digital images will need to be converted into photographic slides to drop into your non-virtual projector trays. Here's the likely process you'll follow in preparing the images for projection.
