A great gift and present for friends and families to enjoy a clear night view right at home. Available 2 stylish colors.

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.
