Digitarium® Delta 5 Plus Digital Planetarium System
This model is discontinued. View current portable models.
Product Overview

The Digitarium Delta 5 Plus is very similar to our Digitarium Delta 5 entry-level digital planetarium system, but has the added advantage of utilizing laser-phosphor projection technology. This eliminates the need for costly replacement lamps and is more environmentally friendly.
This model projects a high contrast 1080 pixel diameter imagery over a full dome with no blind spots or cut-outs. It is the culmination of years of development effort, with our own innovative proprietary lens design.
The Digitarium Delta 5 Plus offers not just a compact size but quick set up, intuitive user interfaces, high resolution, excellent projection quality, and wealth of other features. Digitalis sells inflatable domes in several diameters for a complete portable solution.
