Setting the projection time
You can set the Homestar to project the sky as it would appear at a certain date and time.
However, you should keep in mind that the Homestar is calibrated for Japan and regions with
similar latitudes. If your location is between the latitudes of 30 and 45 degrees North (for
example, the vast majority of the United States) the representation of the sky should be
fairly accurate. * This function does not work with the monochrome star disc.
