Historic Rendering Zeiss Planetarium Model II

Historical illustration of the first planetarium demonstrations

These early graphics were used for first publications about the Zeiss Planetarium. They showed various positions of the projector dumbbell for displaying the sky as seen from different geographical latitudes. Here we see the position close to the equator. The graphics can be found e.g., in Walter Villiger's publication "Das Zeiss Planetarium" from 1926.
