can interest you in some glh spray?
...much better than the glow in the dark plastic stars I hot glued to my ceiling.
Same bro, mine are not gonna last, I see falling stars every night
Lmao I did this as a kid, I had super high bed and I would get the stars stuck in my hair overnight. super embarrassing to realize I had a stupid glow in the dark star stuck in my hair all day at school 🤣
😆lol
@@LostOwns LMFAO
I started sticking these to my kids' ceiling and realised it's 2022 and glue glow stars are some Jurassic era bullsht. Ds1 costs a buck or two more though lol
I did a lot of research on the internet between the Flux and the DS-1. As most people have probably figured out, I know that the DS-1 is clearly superior, but the question is whether it justifies the extra money for it. I spent a bit of time communicating back and forth with Chris Miller, the owner and creator of DS-1, and he really impressed me as someone knowledgeable and a no-BS kind of guy. I eventually went with the DS-1, as I really wanted something that can last me for a long time. Together with the projector, I also bought the chrome disc, as well as 5 other star discs. Very happy with my choice. The projector is of a very high quality, and the images it cast on my room's ceiling are amazing. I never get to test out the Flux, so I can't give a honest comparison. But I'm a very happy customer of the DS-1, and if you have a somewhat decent interest in astronomy, I would definitely recommend the DS-1
Is there a customer service phone number? I never received a response to my email. Thank you!
Would you recommend getting one of these projectors if my ceiling isn't smooth? I have a popcorn, uneven type of finish. That's just the way my apartment did my ceiling to hide imperfections.
Special request: Please record a few hours of the DS1, and upload to YT. Not a single YT video exists of just stars, where there are no ads, no overlays, and no talking.

Brilliant idea
I’ll do it this week. I got some gorgeous pics with my iPhone. Don’t know why a video will be difficult. Jim in Vermont
@@mitchbryant8166 did you ever get to it?
@@obadiyahisrael6917 I hate being bipolar, it’s awesome
Thanks for the overview. I bought the DS-1 and absolutely love it. It has great features and above all it is the brilliance of the stars on the chrome disc that makes it feel so real and amazing. I love to fall asleep to the slowly rotating star field.
Hi! I saw you had the ds1 . Was thinking of buying it. However I have a hearing condition and I usually get pretty bad pain with fan noise. Is the fan noise audible at all? If so, how loud is it? Thank you.
When he showed the close-up of the stars - even on video they seemed almost 3-D.
I'm thinking a little more money of going w/ this Dark Sky model...
That's really quite stunning, Mark. For contrast, where I live has very heavy light pollution. From my bedroom window I can usually see three stars!
Just ordered mine !! ^_^ The depth on the chrome disk is exactly what I was looking for! , since I was a child I wanted to have something like that in my bedroom.
Saw a few misleading ads on Instagram for the Flux model but quickly realized that I’m definitely not getting what’s being advertised. So the search began and after reading about Miller Engineering and visiting their late 90’s looking cwebsite(which is actually awsoem!) I ended up here. The price....is up there however, being a musician and working with people In the industry some, actually most hi-deff light projectors and lasers are tens of thousand of dollars, so it’s reasonably priced considering the experience that comes with it.
Anyhow, I’m really excited to get it and can’t wait to zone out to some awsome jams while drifting through the space. Taking it to a smaller shows and parties will be great too!!

Nice review, thanks! So expensive but so realistic. Beautiful.
Thank you for your review! The chrome discs look awesome and I think these are the main reason to buy this planetarium. I would love to see that in real.
I wish I could find more reviews on this, but it sounds amazing
It looks good. The only issue I see is the AC adapter plug location. In some cases you will end up having the cord hanging off the front. They should have put it on the same side as the controls since you are unlikely to face the controls forward. With how nice the night light looks I imagine you would want the controls facing away from you until you are going to project. It would also be nice to set the brightness for the control buttons so they are off or very dim. Maybe they should dim when the night light dims.
Just ordered this and will be arriving Monday. So excited!
Let us know what you think of it.
Eddie Jackson its pretty amazing. Better then what I expected. Originally I just order the chrome version but after 2 nights I order couple more disc to satisfy my urge of seeing some colors. The random shooting stars and slow rotation makes it a wonderful experience. The colors were also very detailed. 5 out of 5!
Kenny does it brighten the room or keep it nice and dark. The actual projection not the night light
@@brandonhandley488 There is a dimmer switch for both the nightlight, and the projector, so you can choose how much it lights up the room.
Hi! I saw you had the ds1 . Was thinking of buying it. However I have a hearing condition and I usually get pretty bad pain with fan noise. Is the fan noise audible at all? If so, how loud is it? Thank you.
They removed the night light feature. Which is a bit disappointing as that ws one of the features that I was really interested in. I hope they bring that feature back or at least make it optional to buy one with the night light feature enabled soon.
I want to buy it but I didn't understand what it meant to stop the night light feature . what does the night light feature mean?
That looks amazing! I would love to fall asleep to that👍
i got chill bumps when u turned it on. really a spectacular view. thank u!
I near cried when I saw the projection with the hopeful piano music playing with it. It reminds me of youthful days of wonder and awe in cosmic majesticity, in admiration and reverence to the cosmos as a young boy. I used to have dreams of becoming an aeronautics engineer and become an astronomical observer. This shot me straight back to those days and filled me again with the same boy like wonder. I live in the city. I can never go outside and see the firmament like this. That’s part of the draw to astronomy, and projectors like this. A happy temporary replacement.
Thanks for the comment, I put a lot of time into trying to find the right music for the video so it means a lot to me it's moved you so much.
Holy moly this is the first one that actually looks really good. But 600 euros :S
Wow I'm crying.. this is so beautiful 😪
Thank you, so nice to hear you enjoyed it so much ☺
@@markjdraper it's amazing!!!😨
I just spent $700 on a DS1 after watching your video. You should hook up affiliate referrals with them! Just sayin
So did I! ;-)
Me too!
can you provide the link?
Is it worth it ?
I returned it... didn’t impress me and the disc drawer failed on day 2! It’s not cheap and not for everyone...
Bought mine when they first came out. The chrome disk alone is worth buying this projector.
Project on a vaulted ceiling, grab a blanket and enjoy.
I am thinking of buying one but their website says it isn't ideal for slanted roofs. I figured I could adjust the angle to optimize the focus, but wanted to get the input of someone that has it. Have you had a lot of success projecting on your vaulted ceiling? Thank you!

@@Lof4Music The fan noise is very low. It is a great planetarium.
Digistar 5 at the Adler. Several hundred thousand dollars but it will fly you around the galaxy.
The power adaptor for this has stopped working for me. Miller Engineering replaced the adaptor for me once already, but it has stopped working again. Does anyone know how I can get a repkCement
That looks amazing! Do you know of any way to add Northern lights to planetariums ? And have you tried to project the dark sky on ice blocks ?
Thanks for the good video. That's exactly what I was looking for.
Cricket sounds would be a great feature
Well i just got word that the twinkle star feature for the chrome disks that will give about a 1/3rd of the stars an enhancement will be available sometime mid-August 2020. I am seeing criticism on here about the price, but it doesn't appear Miller Engineering is able to mass market the DS1 at this point to bring down the price, so it's a rather nice upgrade from the Flux and still less than spending thousands of dollars on the next scale product. If you want to wear a VR headset on your head at night while in bed or mount an HD TV on your ceiling, I think you are in the wrong market for what this company is trying to accomplish. I have the northern hemisphere chrome, the moon disk, the galaxy disk, and the planets disk (and the scenic forest add on disk), and am very impressed. It's a novelty product, so you are going to pay a little more. If you can't afford it, than go with the flux but don't bash the price.
Oooh. I’ll bash the price! I returned it within a week, it felt cheap and had limited functionality! Also the disc drawer failed!
I'm so jealous of the people who already ordered. Having this on while on my death bed is a wish of mine. I've been obsessed with stuff like this since I visited my first planetarium as a kid. The main feature I want is the shooting stars but the cheap ones don't have that option. I have a progressive lung disease and when my time comes I can't think of a easier way to go then to be gazing at the stars with my kitty by my side. Wish it wasn't so expensive. I'd save up for it but I don't have enough time. I bought a cheap one on Amazon and it's joke. Very poorly made. Stuff like this you really get what you pay for.
They've released a lower cost model you might be interested in: ruclips.net/video/p6zIl4Z949E/видео.html
I love your reviews! I have a silly question. What I was looking for is a projector that will show a realistic image of how the night sky is supposed to look with the naked eye. I have read that one can see between 4,000 and 10,000 stars even under best conditions. My question is, the products you review display many more stars, from 60,000 to 4 million. Does it mean they are really not showing a realistic view of the sky seen with the naked eye and are somehow magnifiying the night sky? Thank you
They are showing you an accurate representation of the sky. It will show you more than you would see in real life with your eyes. The photos of the night sky people take that look really impressive have very long exposures to bring in more light.
@@billm1651
Basically, you're confirming that its not the same sky as you would see if you went outside, even in a dark rural area?
I've heard that people say if you want the real night sky, get the dimmer Homestar Classic
Since you mention the darkness problem... If I leave it on while watching Netflix in a big screen... will the light be too much? How would that compare to a Flux? I'm looking for something I can also use with friends over and not only in my bedroom.
Two questions: Does anyone know why the nightlight feature was discontinued? Also, is there a customer service phone number? I never received a response to my email. Thank you in advance!
That chrome disc is breathtaking and maybe worth an upgrade for. I have the sega flux that's half the power that I'm very happy with it though feel it could do with a little more power. Nice to see a serious rival.
Love to see a review of the megastar but doubt you'd be able to get a hold of one.
In a year or two I might look at upgrading to this or see if there's any announcement for a new installment to the sega or dark skys line and wait for that. Till then I'm happy with my flux and even when I upgrade I will continue using it or regift it.
Yes, we can't just say Flux is bad than DS1, infact Flux is 2nd best after DS1, but I guess Sega team are the pioneers of Homeplaneterium if i am right... I got Flux... Even that is breath taking, but DS1 is next level 🤣
If they make that chrome disc compatible to flux, it would be great 😁
@@enigma533
I thought I read that the DS-1 Chrome Discs are compatible w/ the Sega Flux (?)
Absolutely stunning
Finally 🙌 I already bought flux. Could have bought this one... But fine, Fulx is indeed very good.He will use Miller's engineering disc for DS1 and Sega disc for flux, obviously Miller's engineering disc have more stars. Just difference is 5 watt and 10 watt😑 There are Miller's discs engineered for flux as well, that they will never review. Now it's time to compare the master legend Homestar extra 3000 $ vs Master class DS1 500$.
Is the homestar extra really $3000?
@@spacewe6718 yes, absolutely, you guys can check😁 google
@@spacewe6718 Now listen, check Megastar home planeterium of Sega it's 19000$. It's amazing
definitely getting this for myself!
Can you recommend a recording to listen to while looking, so to learn major stars/planets?
Thanks,
PS I just bought the Sega - based on your reviews - the $500 price on this one just too much during these covid days/nights.
Just Google music to view stars by. I found hundreds.
Is there anyway you can upload 4k footage? It's hard to tell if it's good at this video quality. Thanks
Hi. You need to make a video comparing the Homestar FLUX with the DS1 ..
What’s the music in the background called
I wonder, too. Between the beauty of the stars and the poignancy of the music, I was practically in tears....
Woah. The nightlight alone looks spectacular. Now I know what David Bowman meant when he said "My God, it's full of stars" in Arthur C. Clarke's "2001: A Space Odyssey". I wouldn't be surprised if it was inspired by this. Did anyone order it from Germany? Looks like they're not shipping internationally, at least not in the official store :-(
its almost perfect other than the wheezing fan sound everytime you turn it on, i wish they make a new one without it
the website doesn't have an option to choose to ship to UK, could you please advise, I've contacted the company, hopefully I can purchase one soon.
Thanks for the great review, Mark! You've inspired me to get the DS-1. The music you're playing in th background really adds a lot to the experience. Could you tell me the name so I can try and track down a copy? Thanks!
The music track used is A Quiet Thought by Wayne Jones and it's available for free from the RUclips Audio Library.
@@markjdraper Thanks!
To this day, what is your recommendation for an affordable version of this.
@Mike O’Rourke mind blown lol
Mike O’Rourke lmmmaaaaooo 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The flux
@Jamie Pullthatup not if you live in a city
What did you decide?
I just ordered. I can't wait!!!
How is it?
I'm curious with these projectors - if you have a ceiling fan or light fixture in the room, would it completely mess up the illusion?
I have the same question, also wondering if popcorn ceilings or any textured ceiling effect the illusion too.
would it be an issue if there is a ceiling fan In the middle of a room?
After watching this review I really like this planetarium. Would definitely consider getting on in the future . For now think I will get a homestar flux or original as its way cheaper . I really appreciate quality and this really is high quality. Think I can get use to laying in bed with this high quality planetarium . I also believe in buying a quality telescope as I own a 1000mm focal length by 90mm aperture Meade refractor with multi coated eye pieces . I also have a 1950mm by 205mm cassigrain. Really enjoyed this video
Glad you enjoyed it. Agree with your decision, save the cash and get the Sega, perhaps with some extra discs using the money saved.
Which one is worth buying this or the Sega Toys Homestar Flux (Satin Black) Home Planetarium Star Projector since it’s way cheaper???
Hihi, thanks for the impressive video! Really enjoyed it! Oh, there's one part which I didn't quite get, what do you recommend if I like an interactive planetarium instead?
Elite Dangerous
Ordered mine yesterday thanks !!!
For $600 it had better be fantastic.
Hy.
I want to buy a Home Planetarium but I do not know which is the best, with a good quality and to include as much of the surface of the rooms.What product do you recommend? Thank you!
I may have to get one of these
I would love to own one....is there still no way to buy it from Europe?
Incredible! A must have .
It’s turned on at 5:46
I love this but wonder if a cheap nano or micro projector playing a night sky video can achieve a similar effect? My son wants a planetarium for Christmas and I'm prepared to pay for something like this so I can enjoy it too :-)
You mentioned Elite Dangerous. He has an xbox in his bedroom but I dont want screens on. Would love a space journey projected as clear as this
Check out ruclips.net/video/wTcuOtCk22w/видео.html as that might be something to consider, but instead of a laptop you'd plug in the xbox.
Hi Mark thanks for creating this type of content :) my question is : according to what you were able to see during your testing, does the DS1 allow to stop the rotation at a certain point? (for example if i use a disc with 5/6 galaxies and I want it to stop it when the rotation arrives to the galaxy which i like the most? Thanks in advance
No, it keeps rotating.
Sorry. That is incorrect. The one button rotated left, then stop, and then reverse - for Southern Hemisphere viewing. You also have 3 speed options.
@@mitchbryant8166 I thought he was asking if he could set it to stop rotation at a specific point.
It projects the whole disc anyway, though.
@@IUJacob No... The entire disc is not projected, just like on a planisphere. So Orion, for example, dips below the edge, and later rises again. So I can view, stop rotation to study or search, then press button to restart rotation. Is that clearer? Thanks.
@@mitchbryant8166 I’m literally looking up at one of the discs right now and the whole thing is projected on the ceiling.
is the chrome disc the one with 4.1 million? and standard is with 1.4?
Very helpful. Thank you!
i wish these education devices were affordable. I mean every child should have one to study every night. I dont know a single person who can afford one of these.
Saved up my money. Anyone can afford one if they really want one
OMG I NEED THIS
Any idea when they be able to be shipped to Canada🤟? Love your content!
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there is any way to purchase this outside of the US right now...
I was looking to try and purchase a Chrome DS1 for me here in the UK, but it's simply impossible to purchase one other than directly from Miller, and they will only ship to US addresses...they say it's because of any potential warranty issues, so I can't see them selling in the UK/EU until they get themselves a UK/EU distributor...and they way things are right now, I imagine that is some way off...
Shame...:(
I am searching for it, can`t buy it anywhere, so sad... any idea?
Have you tried the new Dark Skys "Pocket Planetarium" that just came out for $34.99 on their site? Just curious to see if it's worth it.
Am trying it at the moment, video out soon!
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/kWWSsKJx5sw/видео.html
@@markjdraper Thank you!! Love all your reviews!
My goodness I loved this!!!
For the disc, does it matter which side face up?
Yes. Read the directions. They are very clear.
Great review and I TY for it. I have 1 question and TY in advance for your response back. The music playing in the backround...was that within the projector or your own music on a separate speaker? If your own, what is the song title? It was so relaxing.
Again thanks for the thorough and well explained review. 👍🏽
Hello, thanks for the lovely feedback. I added the track while editing the video, the DS1 doesn't play music. I take a lot of time trying to find the perfect track for a video like this, so I'm glad you agree it fit.
The track is called A Quiet Thought by Wayne Jones and is available to download for FREE from the RUclips audio library. Go to: ruclips.net/user/audiolibrarymusic and type the track name into the search box and it will pop up for you to download.
Hey Thanks Mark!
Yes, you do an amazing job and you can see you spend hours perfecting your reviews. I sincerely thank you for them and that song is just an amazing add to the vid review. Totally fits. Awesome pick by you and thanks for letting me know the song. I'm definitely going to play it for my daughter after I finally choose one of these projectors I just can't seem to find the perfect 1.
I'm looking for one with a speaker in it that slowly rotates the scene around and also lets you change colors if you want. Also want it to have all the different slides so you can change up the scenery for different effects but also has random lighting flashes you can add in. This combined with the speaker would allow you to softly hear the thunder rumbles along with the lightning flashes.
I know that's a ton of features, but so what? Lol I bet if someone had all those features in a quality made machine for $150 bucks or so, they'd fly off the shelves. 😊
Yes that does sound like a great product...I don't think it exists at the moment. I have seen them with speakers built in but they're not very good quality.
If you want a range of discs I would check out the Flulx (comparison vid if you've not seen it: ruclips.net/video/0RPzMIXlGk8/видео.html) as that's closer to your budget.
Get a separate portable speaker (e.g. this one ruclips.net/video/ex0Ctf_IfuU/видео.html or this one ruclips.net/video/9abZQTdc804/видео.html) as that has the benefit of giving you decent sound quality plus you can take it with you when you travel.
@@markjdraper I saw your review of the old flux / new updated flux review. The new one is very nice. I'll watch the vids you attached now and let the ads play so you get paid. I did so with this review already. 😉
Have a great day and TY again. 😊
@@markjdraper Wow! Lol I actually have the exact Tribet speaker you reviewed. It's an awesome speaker that I got for $20 and has amazing bass for its size. I'd give that a full 5 stars myself.
I have a black ceiling would this be a problem absorbing the light?
I've not tried it on a black ceiling, but others have commented that it does make a difference and doesn't look as good as on a light ceiling.
Ok thx
Is it also wireless or do it always have to be plugged up
Must be plugged in
Do they ship internationally? Cuz in the website it doesn’t show other than Unitedstate !!!
Aaahhhh.....what a shame. Dark-Skys only ship to the US at the moment. As soon as I saw this projector thought “that’s the one”. My quest continues.
same.eerghh so annoyinh
Do I need a white ceiling fpr this?
How do u get them not look blurry on the first Sega Projector
Hi there this is what I've been after for a while now I've seen cheaper ones on eBay and Amazon through they've all got mixed reviews..this looks like it would fit the bill..Where can I buy this in the UK? Thanks....
As far as I'm aware you can't buy this in the UK, it can only be purchased directly from the manufacturer.
@@markjdraper hi mark thanks.....yeah seen one amazon lastnight tried to purchase it through it was us and didn't ship to UK....I contacted him to see if he would and why he wouldn't he said it would be to expensive witch is disappointing so my search continues..was almost considering them other options through they have got so bad reviews on amazon just put me off..so I guess I'll just have to wait and see if the ds1 will ship to UK further down the line or wait for something else..
What if you have like a fan on your ceiling...?
step 1: remove the fan
Step 2: rethink decision
Your fan will have out of focus stars projected on it. What do you think would happen?!?
How do you get your chrome disk to focus so clearly up close? It’s hard to Adjust the slider when the ceiling is 9 feet
Funny. I get crystal sharp with 8 feet.
I have even used binoculars to view a few nebula.
Can anyone help me out. This is basically a 3D projected planisphere. It is amazing, quality excellent and I have NO regrets on the purchase. So the disc rotates with Polaris off-center, just like with a planisphere. So Orion passes off screen and then reappears later. What is unclear to me is which cycle does a full rotation represent - a 24 day or a 365 day year? I am wrapping my head around this and can not come to an answer. Thanks for any thoughts. Jim in Vermont
Hi! I saw you had the ds1 . Was thinking of buying it. However I have a hearing condition and I usually get pretty bad pain with fan noise. Is the fan noise audible at all? If so, how loud is it? Thank you.
Hi William ... Have used it nightly for two weeks and forgot the fan until your question. I live alone in silent rural Vermont, and I have NEVER heard it. I have no association with Miller, I am just a seriously trained astronomer. I love mine. I think you will too. Enjoy the night sky.
@@mitchbryant8166 Thank you so much for your answer! :) That's all i needed to know. So excited.
Can you run this one as long as you want, rather than having it auto shut off after an hour or whatever? Does it save the last settings used?
auto shuts off after 2 hours. Safety feature
Gracias!!
waow ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for reviewing
Dear Mark, thank you very much for this review, the DS1 is amazing! But, what about a comparison with the DS1 or the Flux and the Uncle Milton Star Theater Pro? Many people prefer this last also respect the flux. There is also a russian version with 5W led like the Sega Flux, I was told that has better lenses than the Sega. I really don't know why UM doesn't mention about their 5W version for Russian Federation. Thank you for all!
He will use Miller's engineering disc for DS1 and Sega disc for flux, obviously Miller's engineering disc have more stars. Just difference is 5 watt and 10 watt😑 There are Miller's discs for flux as well, that they will never review.
@@enigma533 thanks for your reply, but I was wondering how good is the Uncle Milton Star Theater Pro compared with the Flux or the DS1. 😙
@@scolpeo Flux is obviously better than Uncle Milton, where as lesser than DS1. You have either Flux or DS1 options left under best catagory of Home planeterium
@@enigma533 I see, but still not sure about how better is the Flux 5w than the Uncle Miller 5w Russian version, cause the UM derives from the Nashica which originally had better optics than the Sega.. This is why my dubt. Anyway of course we are talking about very good planetariums, I would like just to clarify the best classification of all the available planetariums, obviously in consideration that the DS1 is the best at the moment
@@scolpeo Oh! Can u share the link of that russian version? Because i never came across it, i know about Uncle Milton home planeterium. The reason why i always mention Sega Flux is, correct me if I am wrong, they are pioneers of Homeplaneteriums, is it right? As per google that's what I came to know and then next level is DS1 accepted, rest all low prices toys...
Are there any sky projectors that identify constellations?
The Flux has a constellation disc ruclips.net/video/4ZhBeUTAuD8/видео.html
Dark Skys also now has a constellation chrome disc
Hi! I saw that your purchased the ds1 planetarium. I'm probably gonna get one myself. However I have an ear condition and I really don't do well with fan noises.
Was wondering if this device makes any noticeable noise at all? Thank you so much. Regards.
Insane noise
I have made planetarium projectors of my own for a rather long time. Who says dollar amounts like... Five Three Nine Nine Five. Isn't that Five Hundred Thirty Nine dollars and Ninety file cents?
how high is your ceiling? thanks.
You can project up to 20 feet. Mine are 8 feet.
Oh I'm getting me one by 2021
Ssssssaaame I got the flux
where can i buy it. i try over several websites. i am in germany located. thanks alex
At the moment I'm being told its impossible to get.
That is awesome!!!!!! 😍😍😍
So is this comment!!!!! 😊😊😊
Hi mark. Is there any way I can get this delivered to Australia ? I have tried contacting the company with no response. Thanks a lot
Hi Lisa, I don't work for the company so I'm unsure what they plan to do about worldwide orders. Last time I heard from them they had planned to ship outside America early 2020, but given the crazy year we've had I suspect they may have held off from that until things settle down. I'd have suggested contacting them directly but as you've already done that the only thing I can suggest it wait and see if they get back to you, or ping me a message (@markjdraper on Twitter/Insta) and I will let you know if I hear anything from them.
I have one homestar extra how does it compare to the ds1?
The ds1 will project at least 10x more stars with a star disk, and 34x more with a chrome disk, compared to a homestar extra.
there chrome discs are 3x the price😐
Me: why is this over 500? Rather get a VR headset
*Shows chrome disc*
Yea not gonna lie that changed my mind😂
😂
It has music???
Nope
$580 now. Crazy.
They're cool but insanely expensive and you only get one slide for $620. Additional slides are $40 so, again, expensive. In comparison my Blisslights Star Lite 2.0, with animation, cost $30. Granted the DS1 is projecting accurate images while the cheaper "galaxy" projectors are more of a novelty.
I don’t even understand how you compare the two. Bliss lights are just outdoor cloud lights like you find in Home Depot with added green laser dots for stars. The Dark Sky and Homestar systems are planetariums. They project realistic night skies. You can still find cheaper planetariums on Amazon for $60, but yea, bliss lights are not a comparison.
@@human47134 I have projectors, like real video projectors for TV and movies, I don't think they're equal to my RGB light bulbs so I don't understand how you think I'm comparing them. Especially since I very specifically pointed out the difference. RIF
Awesome!
sooo does any one in the uk own this?
