planetarium comments

I worked for Viewlex on their Apollo planetarium models. All projected exactly 950 stars (so you might want to correct the number in the article), effectively those brighter than magnitude +4.65 and north of -70 degrees south latitude (further south being blocked by the mounting). However, there were four models, including the Apollo Portable (one of which I own). The other models, I, II, and III, have progressively improving abilities in terms of the ability to design automated shows. Each purchased Apollo (except the portables) came with two free automated shows, while more could be purchased (I wrote about one third of all the available shows). Thomas Wm.

Assessment

At first glance, this article is almost "Complete". It just needs additional references. So for now, I set class to "Start". JoeNMLC (talk) 15:48, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
