On the website of Paul Bourke (http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/projection/domemirror/) I found the description to project stellarium via an spherical mirror instead of using an expensive fisheye lens. Paul Bourke writes, that he is using a customized version of Stellarium to show a predistorted image.
Now, in version 7.0.1 I found the expression "distortion" in the config.ini. Has that something to do with it- and if not: will this kind of projection be included in one of the next versions?
Keep going, Stellarium is just amazing!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I too would love to see the ability to warp the fisheye image so one could project using a spherical mirror. The folks at Digitalises have done a wonderful job with their planetarium system, but it's still too expensive for the backyard planetarium. Projecting from a spherical mirror would be fantastic

I've seen his screenshots, but he hasn't submitted any patches to us to add this projection.
