SEGA TOYS Homestar Flux (Satin Black) Home Planetarium Star Projector

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.

The item arrived from abroad in a battered box - the light emitted was low - the image was blurry no matter how you adjusted it - expensive for what it did - returned for a full refund - maybe we got a damaged one?

Very good little projector. Not too loud so you can fall asleep with it on. Self timer to turn off after x amount of time is good. It is expensive but also the best on the market in my opinion. Just wish there were more options for discs. It comes with 2 and I bought 4 more but at £22 for 2 discs it’s pricey. I can see us using it an awful lot. Has rotation option so stars move and also shooting star setting. Overall my husband loves it and I ended up giving him it early rather than wait for Christmas

I love the effect, and really enjoy drifting off to sleep under the stars. The product was delivered quickly.But this I Sega’s third go at this product. For a £150 product they’re just flirting on the wrong side of quality. And this is detrimental to the core experience.The disks that come with the projector are black and white and don’t really show off the projector to even it’s limited potential. And the rotation of the night sky perceptibly judders slightly as it cranks around. To be fair this is not noticeable on the included discs, but shows up on other higher fidelity images (available to buy separately).Also the projector will not focus on the whole ceiling. As the focal length on the lens changes with a flat surface in front of the point of projection. Modern projectors work around this, Sega’s projector does not. Also I am looking to shop for more disks (I do love this product despite its short comings) and I can’t find any high resolution images of the projections to select disks from. Please fix this as I would like to purchase more disks?If you are prepared for the short coming this is a unique and beautiful toy. I would encourage anyone to buy it, and Sega to improve it.

This is a fabulous gift for any age. With the projector placed on the floor of our bedroom, the image pretty much covers the whole ceiling. Focussing is straightforward and although the image at the edges it not as sharp as at the centre, it's pretty close. The shooting star feature is a little gimmicky (always in the same place), but the timer and slow rotation is great (you can go to sleep under the stars). The shape and position of the constellations is very accurate and I've learnt a great deal about astronomy in the 3 months since we bought it. This is an excellent piece of kit.

If you watch any youtube vids... it looks like the resolution is really good on this flux version. However, notice that they have the projector very close to the wall. Unfortunately, if you have it on a small table pointing at the ceiling, it loses much of that sharpness which cannot be corrected that much, and just looks... Ok rather than great.Being USB 5v chargeable is useful though, so you can put it anywhere.The effect is nice and different slides a must, but Bottom line... overpriced.

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!

The media could not be loaded. Shocking projection quality, nothing like the videos / pictures and search engine reviews.I’ve seen cheap nightlights with better clarity of stars. They also took £48 off my refund for so called ‘return fee’. Royal Mail doesn’t charge that much for a small box.Images and video were taken ‘focused’ with camera. This is how bad it is! and yes I adjusted the ‘focus’ on the actual projector. Only stars directly above were clear. Rest were blobby smears. Utterly disappointing.Day light robbery. AVOID!!!!!
