Centre of the Universe - Victoria, BC Canada - Planetariums on Waymarking.com

With only seating for 20 to 22 people, it is the smallest planetarium I have been in. The centre just received a new high tech computer operated projector and although they are still learning the operational ropes, it still was an impressive show.
The staff member who made the presentation would point out the stars and planets. The projector could then zoom in on the object and show pictures of the object derived from actual telescope photos.
The show was typical and the same quality of anything a much larger planetarium could produce.

One of the odd things about this planetarium is the shape of roof/ceiling/screen directs the sound of the people sitting immediately across from your seating position to you and you can hear the slightest whisper. As the staff member said before the start of the program, "You don't want to talk about any deep dark secrets while in the dome!" It was down right creepy. Remember this fact when you take in the show.
