Does anyone have any resources for projecting stellarium onto the ceiling/walls of a room to mimic the sky above/around? I dug into it a bit and it seemed like projecting into a boxy surface could be accounted for easily enough. But I couldn't find a projector for a decent cost that wasn't too bright. Would be a really fun diy project for me, if I could figure out the hardware.

Warthog Project built a multi-projector surround display that might be of interest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsleWkgOsak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsleWkgOsak (later upgraded to 270 degrees). HDR Projectors are also a thing now: https://youtu.be/iFJsEfWsTd4?t=852 https://youtu.be/iFJsEfWsTd4?t=852

I cant find the link, but I i recently saw a projector project where someone used a deconstructed android phone with the backlight removed from the screen, and a light/lens combo to get >1080p. Though that limits you to Android apps or RDP, it might be a starting point to hack your own. Stellarium does have an android app but its a fraction of the desktop app functionally.

    Yes it was, didn't realize it had been three years already though!

It’s not stellarium, but I’ve got a DarkSkys DS1 and bought my parents a FX model and they both have far higher fidelity in the image displayed due to using chrome disks instead of a screen. It looks better than anything I’ve ever seen at home. https://dark-skys.com/collections/projectors https://dark-skys.com/collections/projectors
