Planetarium/Star projectors

[Grump Martian]

I have always been interested in planetarium ceiling or wall projectors. There seems to be quite a number available. Has anyone any experience with them? Are there any models that work well.

I've got two different ones somewhere, both inexpensive.  One is much better than the other, can't remember which, will try and check tomorrow.  Biggest downside, IMO, is that they have too many stars, it's like being in a desert on a good night, very difficult to identify normally familiar areas.

You could try this one, relatively cheap - star chart is hopelessly inaccurate but it comes with biscuits and plays music

I've had a Sega Toys Homestar Flux (Satin Black) Home Planetarium Star Projector for around 5 years now, I bought it with some birthday money. I quite like it but the price has shot up since I bought mine.

LIDL have one on sale from this weekend, as part of a space-themed offering.  No idea what it's like, other than the pictures in the listing.

Managed to find mine at last!.  The Bresser model is the better one.
