Customers like the rings. They say the stars come into crisp focus with a similar intensity of the night sky.

Customers are dissatisfied with the brightness of the video projector. They mention that the light brightness is extremely weak, and the stars could be much brighter. The sphere of illumination is small, and has a faint, blurry sprinkle of lights. Customers also say that the room needs to be very dark for the best effect.

"...All in all it does an ok job. It really needs to be brighter and cheaper. It's not really worth $149. I'd gladly pay $60-$80 for it though...." Read more

23 customers mention9 positive14 negative

Customers are mixed about the focus of the video projector. Some mention that the focus adjusts to make the stars clearer based on the distance from where they place it, while others say that it never changed no matter what direction they tried. The ring around the lens can adjust the focus and does a good job of it. However, some customers say that the lens is hard to get focused, does not focus entire picture, and the focus feature does not improve the quality of the image.

"...a couple other reviewers, on first use it seems that the device is not focusing properly, and it appears that the focus ring is literally unscrewing..." Read more

Ignore the bad reviews it works great.

Ignore the bad reviews it works great.
I've been interested in astronomy for a long long time. I have owned about 30 telescopes, but currently a 10" and 16" dobsonian, and an SN6 . I've always wanted a decent little cheap planetarium. In the past I painted glow in the dark dots on the ceiling, different sizes for magnitude differences, using a huge paper template to get the star positions correct. It works fine but it's a lot of work, and the sky doesn't change.Then I saw this Homestar, and did some comparisons between this version and the new version. In every review I felt the new version was TOO bright. It does not accurately represent what a night sky looks like. For this reason I purchased the original version. The original version is also a bit too bright, but acceptable. Another reviewer mentioned that the stars do not revolve around the pole star (Polaris) but that is wrong. The sky does indeed rotate around polaris. This is neat because on my ceiling polaris is (correctly) in the same place all the time, just off to the edge of the ceiling. This means that the sky completely changes over the course of 30 minutes or so.I still feel this device is extremely overpriced for what it is, but I suppose that has to do with the limited demand, and cost of manufacturing the laser disks.The shooting star effect is pretty good even though it's always in the same place. It's spaced out timing wise, and the sky has rotated a bit by then so it does not get repetetive.Overall I am really happy with this. My wife lost her mom about a week ago due to covid. I was going out to a friend's house for awhile and knew she would go to bed early.I had just received the homestar and secretly set it up for her but left the room lights on so she couldn't notice. When she turned off the lights to go to bed she was rewarded with a star lit sky. I received a text which only said "thank you &lt;3"In the morning she told me she was so delighted that it made her cry.Now we run it every night when we go to bed.BTW, even if you do not set the timer, it turns itself off after a few hours. I'm not sure how long that is yet because I'm usually asleep when that happens.BTW the other night I played "space music" really faint to add to the theme. I had already fallen asleep when my wife came to bed. She woke me up and said she keeps hearing UFOs taking off outside. Apparently she had been looking out the window for awhile before waking me.That was pretty funny! I just love her

4.0 out of 5 stars It works but could be better
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2022
I've been wanting one of these for a long time. I've previously had an uncle milton star theater pro but it eventually died. The image on the sega is very good but very dim. The theater pro was brighter. The shooting star function is fun and looks ok. I wish it were more comet shaped. I also wish it could appear in different parts of the sky. The ring around the lens can adjust the focus and does a good job of it. The discs are easy to replace. The timer function is nice to have. I do think the motor for the rotation is a bit noisier than the theater pro. All in all it does an ok job. It really needs to be brighter and cheaper. It's not really worth $149. I'd gladly pay $60-$80 for it though. I wish there were other alternatives for less money.
