Digitarium® Zeta Portable Digital Planetarium System

Product Overview

The Digitarium® Zeta Portable model is a digital planetarium system designed for use in portable domes. Set up the system in a gym with an inflatable dome for an instant planetarium. Portability and ease of set up and use allow you to share one system and its cost with other area groups.

This model is designed for those who want a high resolution portable system but do not need the higher brightness of our Digitarium Epsilon Portable model, or the higher resolution of our Digitarium Kappa Portable model. This is our lightest and most compact model for portable use.
