Homestar Flux (Satin Black) Home Planetarium Star Projector

I know it is advertised as a toy which might indicate that this is just a flimsy plastic box that shines pictures that roughly correspond to objects you might see in the sky - NO - This is a serious piece of kit which projects clear, accurate and spectacular depictions of the real night sky along with a whole range of other astronomy images depending on the discs you get. The rotation of the stars is a speeded up but accurate replica of the real movement. It looks like everything is moving around but if you cast it so that the North Star is shining on a mark on the ceiling, you see it doesn't move. I use it for out reach talks and it is brilliant!

I don’t understand the complaints on this item at all! This thing is truly awesome... a little pricey “maybe” but it’s still worth every penny in my eyes. The projection is fantastic, once you get used to the dial and sharping up whatever slide you fancy projecting. Can be deemed a little blurry around the edges at times but with the slow rotation it gives, what isn’t in focus will soon become at some point and in no way does this ruin the image at all. I have it set at the edge of the room doesn’t have to be the middle either, very quiet and the shooting star is a great add. I have the “Earth by day with moon slide locked”. I ask Alexa with the aid of a smart plug to turn it on by voice and with some soothing music BAM! at night your instantly taken into Space.....If you did complain about this item may I suggest party lights or fancy flashing LEDs. If you want something realistic get this.

I bought this as a gift for my mother to help her with her mental health. She is literally the hardest person to buy gifts for and when she seen the price she was not amused at me. Once i hit that on switch I knew then there is no going back. I have never seen her happier. Brings the stars to her and brings the healing and peace to her. Very quiet when set up. Awsome

The quality of the stars is not as described in the images or the video. It appears they advertise this product using high quality images of the inter-planetary systems, but they are not a reflection of the visuals the product creates. £174 - Waste of Money

Expensive but looks neat and good plastic quality.
