We used to have a scinitillation device but it was removed as it was too noisy. It was an occilating frame with little metal squares on it that flickered in front of the lamp that produces the light for the stars.

The nearest to that has been the moth that was on the dome and I'm pretty sure it peed on one of the chairs!

We have 12 white floodlights that we can turn on - does that count?
