Hi,
I'm Dany (Daniela) from the middle of Germany near the city of Kassel.
Since nearly seventeen years I'm working in a museum in Kassel as a guide an as a projectionist in the planetarium, which is included in the museum. A few years ago our planetarium was upgraded with some beamers. Until then we worked 'only' with a star-projector (ZEISS M1015, now shown in our museum).
With this new beamers I started to develop some programs for our planetarium and blender together with the Fisheye Camera are my favourites. That's why I know decided to register.
At the end of 2015 our old projector was sorted out and we just got a new machine (ZEISS ZKP 4 together with two VELVET-prjectors).
Last weekend was our opening-weekend with this new technique. :-) Therefore the last weeks had been very busy and sometimes flurry.^^
Now I finally have some time for this introduction.
I just realised, we have no English homepage for our museum and planetarium, only the old page is available in English:
http://www.museum-kassel.de/en/index_navi.php?parent=9580It's part of this museum:

If you like to read about the technical details:
http://www.zeiss.com/planetariums/en_usThe program "Nachteulen" (nighthawks) is my first standalone program for very small children. It's about some star-signs and why one side of the earth is dark, while the other one is illuminated, rotation of the earth and some other basics.
I added some screen shots of the nighthawks. Just imagine the stars form the other projector for the sky. ;-)
As for myself, I'm somewhat over 40 now and not very found of social networks, but I like specialised forums or groups.
If you have any questions, please ask.
I hope I might be a help here or still learn something from. :-)
