Permanent projection - only visible when the room is dark which is fine. A friend gave it to us! Made by a firm called Oregon Scientific. Not B&O quality and as I have lost the instructions, not that easy to set up, but it works! It also shows the room temperature or the external temp if you switch on the external weather station. I believe it is radio controlled as well so is very accurate!

Of course, I'm not even sure the batteries are the problem. The unit is not accepting a charge at all.
