Astronomy Dome?

Dear Astronomy Experts
During a remodel of a room, I have found it feasible to install an 8 - 10
foot diameter dome. Is there such a dome that is a prefab structure with
the stars of the northern hemisphere 'punched out' so a lighting grid from
behind would make it look like the night sky, in a darkened room?

There are companies that specialize in painting the night sky
with fluorescent paint on ceilings. During the day the paint is
invisible. Look at the results he

A hidden black light can make the paint glow really well.

I think, however, that it would be better if you do the painting
by yourself - you can go to whatever level of details you want.
It would be much simpler than a perforated dome, and would provide
better rendering of diffuse objects like the mikly way.
