It's dangerous when this happens. You know how the Japanese have indoor
golf driving ranges? I'm going to get venture capital for a large domed
structure with a specific astronomical purpose in mind (insteresting word,
perhaps I've lost mine). Anyway, the inside of the dome will have the
complete sky silk screened down to mag 9.5 with all deep sky objects and
moving planets. The idea is we can all set up our scopes in the darkened
dome and have star parties without being bothered by driving 90 miles,
clouds, rain, mud, light pollution. So what that it's only a virtual sky.
Think of the possibilities!!
We could do astrophotography without having to worry with clock drives or
polar alignment!!!

Who wants to be my first contributor? :-) I need to do a white paper.
