Frank, I think it has only the Sun, Polaris, and 3 more stars. If it was used for testing of the Hound Dog star tracker, it doe smake sense that one would want to vary the sky brightness and star intensity. All I can find online about testing the Hound Dog Star Tracker is the use of a collimator with a single star, which is not what this unit does. So, I am not sure how the "planetarium sky" is projected for the star tracker to observe. Phil
