The Iziko Planetarium
The Planetarium is housed in the South African Museum in Cape Town.Inside the auditorium, the night sky is recreated. So whatever the weather outside, the "sky" inside is always clear. 
The complex Minolta star machine and multiple projectors are used to transport the audience through the wonders of the universe. The ultimate in armchair travel. If you are already a serious stargazer, you can attend one of the regular live lectures called "The sky tonight", presented every Saturday and Sunday. You will receive a star map and be shown where to find the constellations and planets that are visible this month.
