The Montsec Astronomical Park (Ager, Lerida)

Client: Consorcio del Montsec

Installation of a 360-degree Full Dome Digital Planetarium located on the Montsec Mountain, an ideal place to make observations since it has one of the most “clear” skies, in other words, with less light pollution for the observation of space through its telescopes. To observe the stars, the dome is motorized and opens to make way for the giant telescope located in front of the projection system. For the visualization of the image captured by the giant telescope there is a system of monitors embedded in each of the seats installed. We also control the opening and closing of the dome as well as the rise and fall of the telescope.

The installed computer system allows visualizing productions in full dome format or sky recreations at any time. To this end, a state-of-the-art audio and video server system with software applications is used to adapt and overlap the image to the dome, a high resolution projection system located in the center of the room and 7.1 surround audio system.

To make the multipurpose room, a frontal projection system was also installed for the realization of presentations, conferences, with connection box for laptop, video source…and wireless microphone system, using the same audio system.
