Go-Frame™
Go-Frame is designed for spherical mirror projection with fixed planetariums in mind. The scaffolding design accommodates the Go-Vex™ mirror and is basically a stripped down version of the Newtonian™3 projection case. It would be used in a clean environment where the Go-Frame™ system would be basically fixed. There are two models. The most basic Go-Frame has the projector situated in front of the mirror, projecting directly on to the spherical mirror surface.
The second Go-Frame available is called the Go-Frame™ Plus, where the projector is behind the curved Go-Vex™ mirror and projects onto a secondary mirror which reflects to the primary mirror, much like a Newtonian™3. This setup has a smaller footprint where space is a consideration.

Note that many people still opt to use the Newtonian™3 projection system inside their fixed domes as the case can be closed after use, protecting the mirror.
