“There’s no other home planetarium like this one, the star images are crystal clear and a very star-like color.” - Jerry Schmidt, Fort Lauderdale, USA

“Other home planetariums are toys.” - Angelika Dürer, Hamburg, Germany

With the Homestar you get an incredible looking sky on your ceiling. With 10′000 stars showing the view is enormous. The star images vary in size to convey the different brightnesses of the actual stars, so constellations are very realistic looking.
