The reason for visiting

Sutherland was to see the planetarium and do some star gazing.

It is the largest and only privately owned Digital Planetarium in South Africa. It is equipped with a Fulldome Pro DX4 system using a single Fulldome media server to power four Full H Projectors. The Dome is fitted with a Dolby Atmos 7.1sound system.

It was a fabulous experience lying flat on one's back and watching the wonders of the Southern skies and the extraordinary deep sky objects that have been discovered in our universe.

It was an amazing one and a half hour 3D show.

Did you get to see the stars outside in the darkness? Makes you feel like a speck of sand in the universe.

@robz Unfortunately no photos were allowed Rob. It was pitch black in there just with this huge sky overhead, quite amazing :-)

@illinilass Yes we did the star gazing after the show Dorothy :-)
