@@vbond0071 The mechanical timer, the one I used because of the sound, goes from one minute to one hour. The electronic timers go as much as you set them. Also check timer applications for your phone

@@octavian4d Okay...so are you saying the timer on the homestar flux can go longer than 1hr? I can set it for indefinite?

@@vbond0071 Yes, the projector has its own timer. If you don't press the timer button, the projector will run until you turn the projector switch off. If you press the timer button, you can set it, 15', 30' or max 1 hour.

@@octavian4d THANKS----ITS TOO BAD THESE THINGS DONT HAVE BUILT IN MULTIPLE SLIDES RATHER THAN SLIDES THAT HAVE TO BE INDIVIDUALLY WATCHED ONE AT A TIME---

@@matteopedacchia1095 Nope, the projector does not have sound, that's my exercise timer. For an open eye meditation with sound you could use your phone.

You can buy the discs for Sega Homestar Flux projector from here: microstru.com/collections/homestar-flux-pro-classic-disc-replacements You can buy the Sega Homestar Projector from here: www.amazon.com/dp/B07JB9Q3FW?tag=br_1c_a_o-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1&ascsubtag=1730584863848-2-1730584863848&SubscriptionId=AKIAJO7E5OLQ67NVPFZA

@@psion1006 I went to the Miller Engineering Star Discs website and purchased the Forest Scenic Disc for my Sega Homestar Flux projector and drew its outline on paper. Then I drew a circle like in the Forest disc. Inside the circle I drew the inner ISS cupola and darkened it with a permanent marker. After that, with a blade I cut the windows so that the light could pass through projecting the Earth, Andromeda or nebula disks. At the end, I laminated the paper and cut out the scenic disc with scissors. The sold out ISS View disc withe the Cupola wouldn't work with my Sega Homestar

@@octavian4d Thank you. Very interesting. Why didn't the ISS View disc work? Too much black?

@@psion1006 The ISS View Disc is sold out, otherwise I would have bought it. There are two discs, the scenic disc is static and the main disc above it moves. The cupola scenic disc for Sega Homestar Projector must be shaped like a Forest Scenic Disc microstru.com/collections/homestar-flux-pro-classic-disc-replacements/products/forest-scenic-disc-1 or it will not fit in the projector tray. I tried to make a scenic disc like the one posted on the Miller Engineering site with the ISS cupola but it didn't work in the Sega Homestar projector tray microstru.com/collections/homestar-flux-pro-classic-disc-replacements/products/iss-view-disc-1?variant=39303637106839 Maybe the Cupola picture posted belongs to their projector DS1 Home Planetarium, and it is not compatible with Sega Homestar projector (the scenic and the main disc are not compatible). In my video I used the Space Station Disc for Homestar with the cupola I created. Here are the discs compatible with Sega Homestar projector microstru.com/collections/homestar-flux-pro-classic-disc-replacements

@@octavian4d I have transparent plastic discs the same thickness as the Scenic Discs. Normal for bite guards. I'm going to try to make a Scenic Disc with them. I have a few Dark Skys Discs and will buy more. They are the prettiest. I like the Orion Belt Disc. I just need an idea for the Scenic motif.😁 There are 8 Astrial Scenic Discs. I think they fit on the Miller Engineering Discs too. It would also be possible to use them as a base. I put the main disc in first and then the Scenic Disk on top. In the Flux. I'll have to try the other way around. I'll try it with the DS Discs.

@@octavian4d Both positions work. The correct position is for the Scenic Disk to be at the bottom and the Main Disc to be at the top.

No, it is a different disc made by Miller Engineering for Homestar (Flux, Pro or Classic). The one I filmed with my smartphone is called Andromeda Galaxy Disc, here’s the link: microstru.com/collections/homestar-flux-pro-classic-disc-replacements/products/andromeda-galaxy-disc-1 Here are more discs made for Homestar projector (they do not work with other projectors) microstru.com/collections/homestar-flux-pro-classic-disc-replacements

I have the Sega Homestar Flux Projector (about $259). Miller Engineering makes discs for the Homestar and also for their own DS-1 Home Planetarium Projector (about $600) but the discs are NOT interchangeable, the DS1 has the slightly larger discs and they won't fit the Homestar. The discs are $39.95 each and ship about $10. The projectors do not have sounds, use your smartphone etc, I added my music in the video. This link is for the Homestar projector discs, and Mars disc is among them microstru.com/collections/homestar-flux-pro-classic-disc-replacements

Hi please share your info. I live in europe aswell. Do they really work for the flux? Thank you

Yes​@@anneschmidt3722

The discs are not compatible, DS-1 discs are bigger.

I have looked through my small telescope at Andromeda, Jupiter with four of its moons, Mars, so I especially like these ME disks. I like ISS and the curvature of the Earth on my ceiling. Carina Nebula looks fantastic. Here are a few videos with ME discs projected on my ceiling in my study. www.youtube.com/@octavian4d

Just bought the sister and her husband a Flux. Waiting on delivery. I think they'll love it..

There are two ways the dust speck appear on the disc projection on the ceiling, from the projector itself, in my case Homestar Flux lens, or from the dust speck on the disc. If dust speck is on the disc, you can use a soft fiber cloth and some alcohol to clean and wipe the discs. I talked to Miller Engineering customer support and they said it is safe to clean the discs, it will not damage or wash out the image printed on them in any way.

@@octavian4d Thanks for the information. I will try it. 😃

Not sure, my ceiling is flat. As long as the ceiling is not painted in dark colors, I think the texture of the ceiling doesn't matter. My projector can rotate left or right asymmetrically (new stuff appears from the left and disappears from the right, or vice versa, but most of the time I keep the switch off, so the ceiling texture probably wouldn't matter if the switch is off. Other people have chandeliers on the ceiling and the projection looked cool in their youtube videos.

I am a customer like you, nothing more. I bought my Sega Homestar Flux last year, and when I didn’t use it I kept it inside its white box. I am not sure what to tell you. I know that you can clean and wipe the Miller Engineering discs with a soft fiber cloth and alcohol. You won't damage or scratch the discs. Maybe soupy water and cloth would clean the device. The best thing is to ask the customer service www.segatoys.space/en/public/flux.html On the bottom under Company, click Contact, and send your message, They probably will email you back with the right advice.

I got some discs with nebula like in this video, also Andromeda galaxy on another video ruclips.net/video/YZU6OXo3wB0/видео.html Planet Mars ruclips.net/video/r45exXhh5D4/видео.html Planet Jupiter seen from its satellite Europa ruclips.net/video/2CSGVwm75SA/видео.html

The projector does not have sound capabilities, you need a different source if you want to experience an open eye meditation with sound. I created the music with different music software, Sonic Photo Gold, Med SoundStudio, N-track, then I added the sounds to video in Corel Video Studio Pro. I captured the video from my ceiling with Google Pixel6 smartphone

- In this link on my ceiling is the curvature of the Earth seen from Endeavor while docks with International Space Station (ISS). Mystic Mountain from Carina Nebula ruclips.net/video/LLdO3eBRspk/видео.html - In this link are on my ceiling Milky Way, The Eagle Nebula with its Pillars of Creation, Carina Nebula, JWST Deep Filed with the early universe, only 400 million years after the Big Bang. Those galaxies have a population III of stars (first stars made of Hydrogen and Helium), and a population II stars (metal-poor). Our Sun belongs to population one of stars (high metallicity). ruclips.net/video/Ex8Nt1Q_sFQ/видео.html

There are many discs available, I buy them from the Internet from Miller Engineering for my projector Sega Homestar Flux. If you have a different projector you must be sure the discs are compatible with your projector. My projector does not have sound capabilities, I use a different source, smartphone with headphones. The disc can rotate to different zones, on/off, also shows falling stars on/off. There is a disc with the curvature of the Earth seen from ISS cupola. There are discs with Triangulum Galaxy, Andromeda, JWST Deep Field with galaxies from early universe closer to the Big Bang. Carina Nebula, Flame Nebula with Horsehead, Orion, Jupiter seen from one of its planets, on Mars etc

I am happy with my Homestar Flux and the Miller Engineering discs. The projector does not produce sounds, music, so if you want to do an open eye meditation you need music from a different source. You can set up the projector to rotate the disc slow left or right. Falling stars on or off. Timer. Yes the discs are expensive. Four days ago I bought another disk, Andromeda, I love it ruclips.net/video/YZU6OXo3wB0/видео.html Do not stare into laser of any projector when it is on.

Hi there, this disk from Miller Engineering for Sega Homestar Flux ($39.95), for holidays you might get it cheaper. It is another disc with a view from inside ISS cupola but unfortunately it is sold out microstru.com/collections/homestar-flux-pro-classic-disc-replacements/products/space-stations-disc-1

No audio, but you can listen on your smartphone or CD player while you stare at your ceiling. The song in my video I created with a PC music tracker called MED SoundStudio v2.1

Available alternative... without buying a planetarium projector from Zeiss, please?

If dust speck is on the disc, you can use a soft fiber cloth and some alcohol to clean and wipe the discs. I talked to Miller Engineering customer support and they said it is safe to clean the discs, it will not damage or wash out the image printed on them in any way. If the dust speck is on the projector lens then clean up its lens (turn on the projector without a disc inside and see if there are specks on the ceiling)

Dave, my Sega Homestar Flux came with two discs, Milky Way with the constellation outlines and without them, just the panorama. I bought my Flux from www.segatoys.space/en/public/flux.html $229, and my discs from microstru.com/collections/homestar-flux-pro-classic-disc-replacements Make sure that you buy the discs for Homestar Flux, otherwise they are not compatible with the projector. Here are other discs I bought, International Space Station, Carina Nebula with the awesome Mystic Mountain ruclips.net/video/LLdO3eBRspk/видео.html

Many thanks. Yes, I created the song with “MED SoundStudio v2.1” (a Music Tracker, music editor for PC), and for instruments I used the sound samples from my old RBF instrument samples CD. I have another video I made in the same manner like this one, with an awesome view of the International Space Station above the curvature of the Earth, and the beautiful Carina Nebula's Mystic Mountain projected on my ceiling, but for music I used the instrumental part of one of my songs (The Spring) we played live on stage in 1975 in Bucharest ruclips.net/video/LLdO3eBRspk/видео.html

@@octavian4d Nice work and thanks for the reply..I didn’t realise you were in a band previously..
