The Del and Norma Robison Planetarium recently installed two new Norxe P60 projectors, increasing its resolution to 4K and drastically improving the brightness.

Along with the new projectors, the planetarium added an autoalignment and auto blending system that maintains projector alignment. This provides a clearer image across the entire dome and significantly reduces regular maintenance hours. The projectors were previously aligned annually, which took many hours each time.

The planetarium has an annual attendance of roughly 5,000. During the school year, the planetarium hosts free 30-minute shows at 6 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, as well as an hour show for $5 on Saturdays. It is also open to reserve for group events, guest speakers, classes, field trips and other special events.
