Default 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?

Cordially
IT

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.

Reards,
