    I watched a video on the website for the Laser dome in Seattle. It looks like they use gas lasers (clip of him turning on high voltage and the water cooling). There was also a shot on the Coherent control box. This would lend me to guess they have Coherent Star C's since I ASSUME they are using LFI equipment. One of their shows "Muse" is an LFI distributed show. I am not sure what controller he is using in the video to control his color mod's etc. I used an LFI Lumisphere dual head system here at the Buhl for 3-3.5 years.....fun....not too efficent power wise though. I got 300mW at the head when it was outputing (Coherent Star C) 3W raw beam into 25-micron fiber (killed the brightness). The small fiber was necessay for the $80k lenses LFI/Omniscan made so a single laser could cover the whole dome.

    Hi ,

    it's about 10 years ago when i saw the last Planetarium Lasershow in LA.I didn't know there is a Planetarium with Lasershows in Pittsburgh.
    Otherwise i surely visited some shows when i was in that area last September.Right now there are some freemiles which expires soon.
    So i'm thinking about a one week short trip to the eastcoast.Most likely i would be in Pittsburgh on 05.22.09.

    @DigitalDave
    should i do some reservations if i know the date is okay or is there usually enough space?

    Regards , Thomas

    They said something about averaging half full, so you'd be fine.
