Title: Is there anyway to have nebulas in my room?
Post by: IcyScythe on August 18, 2009, 09:32:51 am

Alright this is kind of odd but is there anything out there you can buy that is some kind of "nebula generator"? Kind of like a planetarium but I'm not interested in seeing constellations, more those beautiful gaseous clouds like in FS2.

Anyone???

Thanks :)

I think nebulas are in the bread aisle at the grocery store.

I have an idea.  We're going to need a lot of pot and some colored lights.

Heh, closest you'd get is a Mistmaker with coloured lights, but they aren't the same really, nebulae require ionized gas an zero-gravity, both of which are hard to achieve in a bedroom situation.

Dry-ice, strobe lights and lots of coloured lights, (reds, purples and greens.)

 :D

And a carbon filter.

I'd say hire a good airbrush artist and tell him to surf APOD (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/) for a while.

Called a Laser Pod... fancy take on a bedroom star projector.
Actually a fairly decent price.
