5 out of 5 stars One of the best things you could be staring at in a room, while falling sleep   June 27, 2008

I love it. I think for the price you pay you get a very good real life model of the stars and constellations and I love the fact that the whole sky actually rotates around the north pole star, and not around the middle of the sky. This way, you can really see the constellations coming and going by season, and you can clearly understand why some are not visible at some seasons.
It adds quite a nice feature to your bedroom at night time, something to stare at and fall sleep.



4 out of 5 stars Planetarium Like   June 29, 2008

There are other products that offer to project stars on your ceiling but this one by far is the best that you can come to having an actual planetarium in your home.
The projection is good on the first disk with familiar stars easy to pick out and the Milky Way well represented. The meteorite flying over is cute and never fails to catch ones eye.
The second disk with the outlines of the constellations is really helpful to get familiar with the night sky.
Overall it's a pleasure to project on the ceiling at night.



4 out of 5 stars Fun to makeout, make love under   August 27, 2008

This is cute, if overpriced, and is pretty to makeout under. The room has to be pitch black though and the device isn't that vivid around the edges of the projection. Could use more shooting star projections, too.

I paid $[...] for it and I feel that is too much but if you can catch it for $[...] and can get dates, go for it.



2 out of 5 stars Uncle Milton Home star   October 12, 2008
Electronic Wiz (Spring Hill,FL)

I purchased this product with great expatiations based on the reviews. All I can say is this is a very expensive toy. The projected light or star field is very dim. A completely dark room is needed for viewing. The projection is small. I though the stars would fill the room,not! Edge of the projected stars are out of focus. This is really just a toy. Not worth the price. I could go on but I wasted enough time on this product.


4 out of 5 stars This seemed like the best choice out of a few   October 25, 2008
L. Lesaca (Los Angeles, CA)

I still think it's overpriced for a "toy" and wish the projection was wider. Tilting the sphere creates a blurry projection so I leave it shooting straight up. I place it on a small side table about 1.5 ft. from the ground and the projection diameter is about 5 feet. I just wish it was huge, like the size of the whole room. You have to be in a pitch black room for the best effect. It makes a whirring sound if it's on rotate, but the sound isn't too loud. I wish a toy manufacturer would make a new and improved one that doesn't cost a lot, it's 2008!
