Custom star map, for the date of your choice
The sky as it was, that day.
The sky as it stood above one particular place, at an exact date and time. A birth, a first meeting, a vow, an evening never forgotten.
The stars are not decorative: they are calculated from an astronomical catalogue, at the exact position they held that night.
Real data
Exact geography, a sky calculated at the position it truly held. This is not an illustration inspired by a place: it is that place.
Composed by you, in minutes
The editor is free and asks for no account. You watch your piece take shape on screen, and what you see is exactly what prints.
A gift that means something
A date, a place, a moment that ties you to someone. This is what you give when an object will not do.
Printed on demand
Nothing exists before your order, and your piece is made in the workshop nearest your address. No unsold stock, and less road travelled.
How to compose your piece
Everything happens online, free of charge and without an account. You only create one when you come to take your piece home.
- 01
Set the place and the moment
The observation place, the date, the time. Any date works, past or to come: the sky is calculated. The time is the one on site, the hour it was there.
- 02
Decide what the sky shows
The constellations, the star names, the grid and cardinal points, the Milky Way. You show what you wish to show, and nothing else.
- 03
Write the caption
The title, the place, the date engraved beneath the disc. You also choose the language the date is written in.
- 04
