This may be objectionable when both domes are transparent. ever, in most instances the condensation is temporary. In some installations a “popping” noise may be heard. This may occur when a tinted dome, for example, is under direct sunlight and a ping cloud covers the direct sunlight causing the acrylic dome to suddenly contract.

Acrylic Dome.
One major difference between projecting on a flat screen and in a hemisphere is cross-bounce of light. On a flat screen, the most reflective surface is generally desirable for brightest image. In a dome, any bright element can reflect around other sides of the projection surface and wash out other images. For that reason, a darker, gray surface is preferable. We obtained a paint sample chip from the manufacturer of our full-size dome and made an effort to match it with a flat enamel. It is still a constant concern to keep program material at relatively low brightness, and compensate with higher color saturation to the image "pop". But the mini-dome serves as a useful testbed for program material that will be sn later in a larger dome with a brighter projector. Our dome measured 54" in diameter, and 27" from top to bottom, 1.4" thickness and came with a 1.5" flange around the edge. For the dome equaled the cost of the dome itself. As shipped, it had a split foam rubber tube around the flange to protect it. We had been warned about the possibility of cracking the dome by applying too much pressure on the edge mounts. As a precaution against that, and a protection against people hitting their heads on the edge, we left the foam protector on the dome, and loosely tightened the eyebolts that we mounted through carefully drilled holes. The dome was mounted with one wire attached to the ceiling (on the side facing the operator) and two wires connected to the wall behind it. Another installation might require a custom metal stand.
