    • Great alternative to Sega Homestar. Bright image, sharp focus, quiet slow rotation.
The DS-FX is a small, portable star projector / planetarium. It is similar in size and function to the Sega Homestar, but is much nicer and less expensive. The build of the projector is solid, and unlike my Homestar it can focus sharply. The projected image covers my entire ceiling and is quite bright, much brighter than the Homestar. The built-in battery lasts for several hours, and charging is easy via the USB-C port. The disc rotation is slow and stately, and almost completely silent. The control buttons are easy to find in the dark and feel solid. The projector includes a discount code for buying discs. The only downsides to the projector are: It uses its own format of discs, and so cannot use any of the wide selection of Homestar-format discs, which is a shame. And the available discs are--so far--only grayscale, no color at all. Hopefully Dark Skys will figure out how to make color discs so that the projector can display some of the amazing Hubble and JWST planetary and nebula images. Even with these negatives, I highly recommend the projector itself. Just it alone and the included disc are excellent, and at a good price. I like that the star discs are each built into their own trays and come with protective sleeves. However, the trays are bulky and surprisingly have absolutely no identification as to what is on the disc. There is an identifying sticker on the sleeve, but since the sleeve is separate from the disc, it's easy to mix them up. For now, with only a few fairly unique discs out, that's not a big problem, but it will be when more astronomical discs are produced. The included Northern Hemisphere disc does not include a sleeve. In terms of the discs, they are a bit hit-or-miss. The included disc is spectacular. It is a view of the Milky Way and zillions of other stars. However, as other reviewers have noted, most of the stars just seem to be grains or noise, and are distracting, not realistic in terms of representing a dark star-filled night. I'd personally prefer that most of them be removed or muted. Also, there is subtle banding or rippling in my disc's image. I've seen similar--and much worse--banding in Homestar discs, so this is a minor nit. I also bought the FX-20 Stormy Nights disc and FX-21 Moon disc directly from Dark Skys. The Stormy Nights disc is more of an artistic presentation, and subjectively it is nice, but just nice. I don't regret buying it, but will probably not use it often. The Moon disc is probably my favorite. It has a nice balance of the Moon plus a wide starfield, and there are not "too many stars" on this disc. My only nit is that I expected the Moon to be much larger. I would happily buy a second disc that is mostly or entirely filled by the Moon in high detail. Currently, there are two other discs available from Dark Skys, the FX-ADM Twinkling Stars module and the FX-22 Constellations disc, neither of which I personally am interested in. Overall, in terms of discs, I would recommend the Moon disc, and possibly recommend the Stormy Nights disc as an alternative to astronomical discs. I am looking forward to more discs from Dark Skys, hopefully color ones! ... show more

    • Good quality, but limited number of slides.
It's quiet (i.e. makes no noise whatsoever), has a good resolution and good clarity, except that on edges it gets a bit smudged. I wish there were more slides for this model though.

    • Appearance
Likes; very sharp detail, medium amount of stars, not too bright, rotation, slow. Dislikes; no shooting stars, appearance becomes a bit monotonous. Absolutely no changes in scenery as there are only four other discs available, none with color. The one disc that you would want to have is generally out of stock. This projector just came available in July of 2023 so maybe the company will upgrade this planetarium soon. We will be returning this unit due to the reasons stated above. Lack of additional discs and color. ... show more

    • Best of the low-cost planetarium projectors
The milkyway and star patterns in the standard disk are very impressive and are similar to what might be seen in a dark sky with little light pollution. Many "real" constellations are found easily. The milky way is brighter than normal compared to visual observers would see on a real night out but the accuracy is good. Pleiades, double cluster in Perseus, etc. Nice job on the design and construction. ... show more

    • A wonder of modern engineering with an absurdly good price/performance ratio
What an amazing achievement for a dedicated small business... When I used it I could not believe my eyes on the level of detail... You really can feel that you are really looking at a sea of 3.1 million stars right in front of your eyes in jaw dropping resolution. It is so surprising and awe inspiring to notice that probably the darkest patches on the northern nightsky are created by the nebulae of milk way while at the same time the brightest patches are at the same location too and created by the immense number of stars which are just condensed there... In short I feel like I owe this review to Miller Engineering and yes I can not recommend the product enough... Miller Engineering left such a positive impression on me that I will also buy Sega Matataki in order to try the discs they produced for the latest version of Sega planetariums. I wish best of luck and success to all at Miller Engineering. ... show more

    • Great budget-minded home star projector
I bought this for my son (14) for Christmas. He wanted a more realistic projector to replace/augment the galaxy projector he has had for a few years. This has been great so far. Battery life is about a week if we use the 1-hr timer each night. Picture quality is really good - he was blown away at the realism. There isn't much light cast below/sideways from the projector, which is great. I just ordered a couple more discs (moon & stormy night) at the Dark-Skys site so he has some variety. A few notes: 1) The charging cable seems like an ordinary USB-C, but I've been unable to get other USB-C chargers to work. The cable that comes with the projector is very short. Anyway, if the charging LED doesn't light when you plug it in to recharge, it's not charging. Learned that the hard way. 2) It's nice to be able to focus the projector image based on ceiling height. However, it has such a big throw (size on the ceiling) that it's impossible to get the whole projected image in focus. Only if you could have it in the center of the room would you have a chance at getting the image entirely in focus across the whole ceiling. But it still looks great - he just told me what section he looks at most often, and I made sure that was in focus. Overall, an amazing projector that my son loves. I'd recommend it! ... show more

    • Didn’t know that we needed this, & now we can’t sleep without it!
Such a great, great product. Made mindfully by conscientious experts to provide a high-end experience at a budget price. Buy the additional slides!
