You want to see some backyard planetariums. www.tec.groups.yahoo.com/group/small_planetarium

There are pictures, construction details etc.

Projectors are standard TV projectors. using a sphere as a mirror and shining Stellarium onto the mirror. Stellarium has a special display mode for this.

Of course if you can afford a fisheye lens it is even better.
