Has anyone attempted to create a star field ceiling using fiber optics? Saw one at CEDIA and really liked it but just like everything else I think that I'd be better off ($$$$ wise) trying to create my own. Has anyone tried this? If so, how hard was it and where did you get the materials?

Mattman,


I am in the process of building one for my theater at the moment.

Bought illuminator and fiiber optics at www.fiberopticproducts.com.

I had a starmap blown up to size of starfield and will use that for star placement. Starfield will have appox. 400 stars in a 4 foot by 6 foot starfield.

Mattman, have you joined the ranks of projector owners? From what I remember, you were still trying to figure out which one to buy. Am I correct? How is your progress coming along?

Do you have any updated pics?

Going to give theater effect of having a skylight set in ceiling. Rest of ceiling will be a dark blue tray ceiling with cherry stained oak detailing.

FASTLS, I hope you post some pictures of this! That sounds like it will be nice.
