STARMASTER combines the benefits of the dumbbell design with the state-of-the-art starball concept. The projectors responsible for the fixed stars are located on a central projector sphere - the starball. The planet projectors installed in front of it can be controlled individually and independently of each other.

The extremely bright and brilliant artificial starlit sky is made possible by fiber-optical projectors, a special development of Carl Zeiss. Stars, Sun and Moon are as bright to install the Starball in domes even larger than 18 m in diameter. The traditional division into 32 star fields has been abandoned in favor of a smaller number of projectors. With 12 powerful wide-angle lenses, the starball offers space for other projectors, for example for constellation outlines.
Another novelty is the integration of the Sun and Moon projectors in the starball. This permits the midnight sun to be demonstrated for the first time without obstructions in the north or south.
However STARMASTER offers a lot more. Further options include spaceflights through the solar system, following the Star of Bethlehem, solar eclipses and many others.
The STARMASTER version for tilted domes is designated STARMASTER ZMP-TD, the starball version STARMASTER SB.
