In spite of its small size, the CUBEX features a high quality stellar projection system that is capable of projecting a total of 2000 stars down to magnitude 5.5

Projection takes place onto the inflatable dome which itself is completely opaque to exterior light thereby ensuring a totally dark environment for planetarium stargazing.

The CUBEX is a complete system that is one of the most versatile learning and entertainment tool of today.

The CUBEX portable planetarium come in two heavy duty travel case and a bag for the dome. They are easy to carry everywhere. The complete equipment can fit in a compact car.

• 4, 5, 6 or 7 meter Inflatable Dome.
• High quality 3 speed electric blower.
• High Quality Star projection which includes:
  • Compact, solid, construction
  • Smooth, quiet sideral motion rotation
  • 2000 high definition stars per cube (down to Mag 5.0)
  • Independently movable visible planets and sun projection
  • Independently movable Moon with phases
  • Rotation motor toggle switch for use with northern and southern hemisphere projection
  • Hand-held constelations outlines slide projector with dimmer switch
  • Sturdy, aluminum frame, foam-padded carrying case with wheels
    

The CUBEX was first introduced at the 15th. Biennial Conference of the International Planetarium Society in Montreal, Canada, in July 2000.

The CUBEX star projector can represent the night sky as can be seen from anywhere on Earth (0 to 90 degree latitude) in each hemisphere.

With an accurate, smooth-running and quiet motor, CUBEX can simulate the apparent movement of the celestial sphere due to Earth's rotation. A handy toggle switch allows the operator to change directions when changing hemispheric star projections. Naturally, the sun, the five naked-eye planets and the Moon with its phases can be accurately projected.

A hand held slide projector with mythological constellation outlines can be used to independently project these figures onto the dome.
