Default Space Theatre Planetarium- how accurate?

Folks,

I recently bought one of these:
http://www.poof-slinky.com/catalog/c...acti on=prov&

It's no substitute for a real starball projector, that's for sure..
But, using a $10 kid's dome tent from IKEA, it looks pretty cool!

I'm new to astronomy, and I am wondering how accurate these things are?

Does anyone else have one? I have been thinking about it, and it would
not be hard at all to create a new vacuum formed "star dome" for it,
and make a much better projector out of it..

Thoughts?
