The Eye of Montsec:
The Eye of Montsec is an exceptional multimedia facility consisting of a multimedia digital planetarium which recreates the current sky as well as those of any other period and also shows films in the full dome screen format, allowing visitors to appreciate aspects other than purely astronomical ones, projected onto a 12-metre diameter dome.
With capacity for around 70 people, the Montsec Eye is equipped with highly advanced audiovisual equipment comprising seven audiovisual projectors and a 7.1 sound system controlled by complex computer systems. This makes it an incomparable screening room which is capable of recreating total-immersion virtual environments.
Thanks to its retractable dome and front wall, the Montsec Eye gives viewers an uninterrupted view of the sky above Montsec which is almost totally free of atmospheric light pollution. This direct observation is accompanied by the images obtained by a 30-centimetre diameter telescope installed in the same room, which displays the images on small TFT screens in the seating area.
