COMPLEMENTARY CYLINDERS

As complement of the subjects of the classes we have available three cylinders with astronomical topics:

• CYLINDER MESSIER AND N.G.C. OBJECTS.

It is of mag. 5,7 cylinder with the incorporation of 40 Messier and N.G.C. objects  (galaxies, nebulas and stellar clouds)

These objects consist of digitized small and subtle modified pictures, incorporated to the cylinder. They occupy their real astronomical position, and their projection size in the dome is of approximately 200 mm.

The pictures are in real colors, except for some stellar and globular clouds what are projected in grayscale.

The inclusion of the 40  objects of the deep space, transforms this cylinder, it is ideal to offer a widespread vision of different objects which inhabit our galaxy, and its location in the celestial sphere. Advisable for classes of intermidiet level or higher.

This cylinder doesn't possess stars with lens.

The objects exposed in the picture are:  M4, M6, M7, M8 AND M22.

• CYLINDER OF  CELESTIAL COORDINATED

It is a cylinder of 900 stars until the magnitude 4,3

In form of grillas, the Right Ascension and the Declination they are represented with their numerations. The ecliptic, the celestial equator, the points of the equinoxes, the  galactic equator, the celestial poles etc.

It allows a bigger understanding of the apparent movement of the stars in the celestial sphere and the location of the earth inside the solar system and the Milky Way.

This cylinder doesn't possess stars with lens.

• CYLINDER OF SYNOPTICS CONSTELLATIONS

Cylinder of magnitude 5,45 with a new design in many of the silhouettes of the 88 constellations, for a better likeness between the meaning of the constellation and their schematized figure. It has labeled the name of each constellation, and  of the 30 more brilliant stars of the firmament. These stars, have a size bigger than projection to stand out on the other ones.

This cylinder doesn't possess stars with lens.
