The Civic Planetarium of Lecco (Шаблон:Lang or Шаблон:Lang), also known as the City Planetarium, is located within Palazzo Belgioioso in Lecco, Italy. Planetarium is part of Natural History Museum of Lecco.[1]

The purpose of the planetarium is to be a place for specialists and people interested in astronomy in the region. It organizes meetings and lessons in which experiences and expertise are shared.[2]

Description

The Amateur Astronomers Group "DEEP SPACE Lecco" helps manage the observatory. The instrument consists of a projector and an aluminum dome, which acts as a screen. It can be used to simulate the movement of celestial bodies on the sky.[2] The dome is eight meters in diameter and can seat sixty observers.[3] Often the shows are accompanied by a lecturer.

The planetarium accelerates the movement of the moon and stars in order to allow observation of processes that normally take days or months.[3] The Planetarium building consists of various rooms: the ticket office, a library for members, a room dedicated to the exhibition of astronomical instruments and a media room used for conferences. [4]

The astronomical dome in the Planetarium was inaugurated on September 19, 2011. The small dome on the roof of the building comes from Canada and inside there is a Celestron C11 telescope, a catadioptric remotely controlled Schmidt-Cassegrain, so they can observe the whole sky even in the conference room. [5]

As of July 2016 the director of the planetarium is Erasmo Bardelli. The ticket costs 3 euros.
