It took me three bleeding weeks to go from the simple collected star map to a proper planetarium, but here it is, shiny and packaged, and can be yours for only L$1900.
Included are versions of the Map of the Known Universe previously described at length in the form of globes suitable for keeping on your table — both the full resolution and a low prim low resolution version, various sizes of the hollow torus from 10m to 32m, a 20m size in a ready made building for it, and a complete manual on how to make your own in a completely different shape if none of these are to your liking. All versions automatically poll the server daily for an update of the map textures, if any was uploaded.
Available from my inworld store in Takalo and on XStreetSL.
For the first 24 hours and in the inworld store only, comes at a 50% discount — check the special vendor on the table.
P.S. For those wishing to see it inworld, it has been set up on the sim of Kernow, courtesy of Trinity Dechou and Aimee Trescothick — you’re welcome to visit it and see for yourself. To get there, go to http://slurl.com/secondlife/Kernow/46/112/22 — you will land at the telehub for the sim, to get to the planetarium, you can use the distinctly marked teleporter sign.
