HomeStar is Segatoys' all new one-of-a-kind 21st Century home planetarium. Features a high quality sky projector with a plate slot for different starry slides. A unique invention allows friends and families to enjoy a clear night view at home. Segatoys HomeStar is designed to last for 6 hours straight. Built-in a high brightness white LED for clear and sharp images. Adopts an adjustable stand for variety of shooting angles. A great idea for gifts and presents. Available in silver and black.

NOTE: This product is a Japanese import. Packaging and instruction manual are in Japanese. However, operation is very straight forward and does not require the knowledge of Japanese. In order to achieve the best possible image, please make sure the Homestar is operated in an absolute dark environment (like that of an actual Planetarium, or movie theater). Insert the disc plate into the Homestar. Adjust the ring near the lens for focus. When calibrated correctly the starry sky should look very realistic.
