A primary difference is that the KCMSD Planetarium is designed for lessons while City Dome is designed for shows. The City Dome is a 30-meter dome with more than 150 theater seats. The Planetarium projector at City Dome is an older model Spitz projector capable of projecting only a star field of both northern and southern hemispheres and may also be rotated to model the effects of daily motion. The City Dome contains numerous projection systems including all-sky projectors operated through a totally automated system.
