This planetarium with inflatable dome is available to schools, colleges and youth centres in the region. Each institution using the equipment provides its own lecturer, supported by various levels of documentation, discussion sessions and alternative displays. In the first year about 50 organisations used it, each for about a week, with some 15 000 child, and 6000 adult visitors. No serious problems were encountered despite this intensive use.
