During the last 26 years of its inception Planetarium generated 28 astronomical presentations using Carl Zeiss Mark IV Universal Projector, which were viewed by 95 lakh astronomy lovers. The projector served its full life.

In the meanwhile, the technology marched at a growing space bringing new ideas and means. To keep abreast with the new technology, Nehru Centre has installed Digistar-3 Planetarium equipment replacing Carl Zeiss Universal Projector, purchased from Evans & Sutherland, of USA.

This new equipment is basically a bank of eight computers that have the latest database of the sky loaded onto them. All the advantages of digital imagery are thus brought to the fingertips of the operator. The computers send the information to six high resolution video projectors that cover the entire dome. Digistar-3 system has 5.1 channel surround sound.
