Easy to set up. It's not necessarily a toy though. Getting focus can take a few seconds. I just set it up once and taped it so it wouldn't move again. The projection is approximately 2.5-3m in diameter, projected on the ceiling. One problem is that the motor to rotate the stars is relatively loud. However it's easy to get used to. People who are finding it hard to achieve perfect focus and are leaving negative reviews need to understand that when centre of the projection is in focus the edges will be slightly out of focus. This is just optics. Google it if you want to know more. It's not a fault with the item. Personally it didn't take away from my enjoyment at all. This item is brilliant. I couldnt be happier with my purchase, it's used every night. Highly recommended. Review: Brilliant for kids,very good for adults, you won't find any better, unless you have spare £2+k for Homestar Extra version - Item arrived promptly, I only tasted it briefly so far, it seem very good. As few other reviewers said it is slightly overpriced yet best product on the market. ## Features - Watch the stars while sitting on your sofa (Want more?

My 8 year old has this. He says you can set to either North or South & image will gently rotate. If you don't use either setting image remains still. He loves it & goes to sleep with it every night! **Q: does this leak light from the unit? i.e if it is positioned on a bedside table would it show light other than from the reflection on the ceiling?** A: Not really. Obviously there is a light but really it shows only on the ceiling. My 9 year old son loves it and has it on every night when he goes to bed. I bought extra slides to go into planetarium which was money well spent. Hope that helps **Q: is the projection of northern europe sky or can it be adjusted to such?** A: The projection is of the northern hemisphere. This includes: America, Europe and Asia. The part which is visible depends on: time, date and where on the northern hemisphere you are located. It is as with the sun: no matter where you are, as long as you are about the same latitude (north), it always looks the same when it is noon (or 8 am, etc.). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic. *by N***Y on 27 November 2017* This is a superb product. Easy to set up. It's not necessarily a toy though. Getting focus can take a few seconds. I just set it up once and taped it so it wouldn't move again. The projection is approximately 2.5-3m in diameter, projected on the ceiling. One problem is that the motor to rotate the stars is relatively loud. However it's easy to get used to. People who are finding it hard to achieve perfect focus and are leaving negative reviews need to understand that when centre of the projection is in focus the edges will be slightly out of focus.

I couldnt be happier with my purchase, it's used every night. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant for kids,very good for adults, you won't find any better, unless you have spare £2+k for Homestar Extra version *by M***E on 19 January 2017* Item arrived promptly, I only tasted it briefly so far, it seem very good. As few other reviewers said it is slightly overpriced yet best product on the market. ### ⭐ Dissapointing *by A***R on 17 February 2017* I think this is aimed more for children but is priced more towards adults. I was a bit disappointed at the overall effect. The middle of the projection was quite clear but the further towards the sides the worse the blur got. The shooting star was also very disappointing. I bought this for my girlfriend for Christmas as we like to go out and watch the stars. Tried it once or twice but even after repositioning and rear focusing I still wasn't happy with it. It's now in the back of a cupboard. Maybe for a kids room it would have been ok, but should be a quarter of the price! ## Frequently Bought Together - SEGA TOYS Home Planetarium Homestar Original (black) - SEGA TOYS Comets Homestar Planetarium - SEGA TOYS Earth in Space Homestar Planetarium --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48053761-home-planetarium-homestar-original-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48053761-home-planetarium-homestar-original-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-11*
