The Details That Matter

Why We're Faster & More Affordable

Many providers advertising "5-7 day delivery" are using third-party fulfilment centres. You're essentially paying a middleman to print and ship your order. We print everything in-house in the UK, which means faster dispatch (same day before 3PM) and better prices - no markup from intermediaries.

Your money goes directly to the people making your gift, not a faceless fulfilment warehouse.

The Timezone Issue Others Miss

Here's something most customers don't realise: if you're creating a star map for a summer date but you're ordering in winter (or vice versa), some providers fail to account for British Summer Time. The result? The stars could be off by a full hour - and over an hour, the night sky rotates plenty enough to notice. We handle timezone conversions automatically and correctly so your map is accurate to the moment.

An hour's difference means your star positions could be visibly wrong. We calculate the exact local time for your date.

Why Moon Time Matters

Some providers claim their moon prints show "the moon as it appeared" on your date - but they don't let you enter a time. Here's the problem: the moon visually rotates throughout the day. Even though the phase stays roughly the same, the orientation changes. If you know the exact time of a birth or wedding, our time selector ensures the moon looks exactly as it did at that moment.

Try our moon generator - move the time slider and watch how the moon rotates while keeping the same phase.

The Tycho Crater Problem

Look at the moon tonight and you'll see the Tycho crater near the bottom - a distinctive bright spot with ray-like streaks extending outward. It's one of the moon's most recognisable features. Some well-known providers have incorrectly applied their texture maps (the displacement & normal map), resulting in random craters appearing around Tycho that simply don't resemble the real moon correctly. Thousands of customers have received prints with inaccurate lunar surfaces without realising.

Our moon textures use real NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter data - every crater, mare, and ray system is where it should be.

Our Milky Way Is Different

Many star map providers either don't include a Milky Way option at all, or use a basic graphic overlay that looks flat and artificial. Our Milky Way is generated from real astronomical data, creating a realistic, high-quality rendering that actually matches where the galactic plane would appear in your specific night sky. It's one of the first things customers notice when comparing prints.

Toggle the Milky Way option in our designer and see the difference quality makes.

The Hidden Edit Bug

We've noticed something odd with some competitors: when you click "edit" to go back and tweak your design, it quietly loads a slightly different view of the stars. Unless you're paying close attention, you won't notice the change. This means customers unknowingly approve a design that's different from what they originally created. Our editor maintains complete consistency - when you edit, you see exactly what you had before.

If a provider claims astronomical accuracy but their edit feature changes the star positions, something's not right.

Create Your Gift

Whose moment goes under the tree?

A print of Christmas Day itself is the same sky for everyone. The gift lands when the date belongs to the person opening it, so start with the moment rather than the occasion.

The year you met
For the partner who already has everything except this
The day they arrived
A first Christmas as parents, or as grandparents
The night they said yes
For the couple engaged this year
The day they got the keys
A location map of the home rather than a sky
Last Christmas Day
When it was the first one the whole family spent together
A date only they know
The message underneath is where you say why

Not sure of the exact date? A location map needs a place rather than a moment, which makes it the safer choice when you know where something happened but not when.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need to order by for Christmas?

Every print is made to order rather than picked off a shelf. Printing and framing takes 1 to 3 working days, and UK delivery takes a further 2 to 4 days. Ordering in the first half of December leaves comfortable room; leaving it to the last week means relying on Royal Mail at their busiest.

Should the print show Christmas Day itself?

Usually not. The night sky on 25 December is the same for everyone, so a print of Christmas Day is decoration rather than a keepsake. The gift lands when the date belongs to the person opening it: the year you met, the day their child was born, the night of the proposal, the day they got the keys. Christmas is the reason you are giving it, not the thing it records. The exception is a Christmas Day that genuinely mattered, such as the first one a family spent together.

What if I do not know the exact date?

You have two options. If you know roughly when something happened, pick the date that feels closest and say so in the message underneath: "the winter we met" reads better than a date nobody can verify. If you know where rather than when, a location map is the safer choice, because it needs a place instead of a moment.

Can it arrive gift wrapped, and can I send it straight to them?

Yes to both. Gift wrapping and a handwritten-style gift note can be added at checkout, and you can enter their address as the delivery address so it goes directly to them. Framed prints arrive ready to hang, so there is nothing to assemble on the day.

I have left it late. Is there anything they can open on the day?

There is. Star map orders include the Constellation Legends eBook and single moon map orders include the Lunar Almanac, free with the order. You can send that eBook to them by email with your own message before the print itself arrives, so there is something to open on Christmas morning while the framed piece is still on its way. We do not sell the artwork as a digital download; the eBook is a companion to a real print, not a replacement for one.

What is the free companion eBook?

Every star map order includes a FREE personalised Constellation Legends eBook featuring the ancient mythology, legends, and scientific facts about the constellations visible in your unique night sky, and every moon map order includes its lunar counterpart, the personalised Lunar Almanac. You'll receive yours via email shortly after placing your order as an interactive flipbook you can view on any device, plus a downloadable PDF to keep forever.

How long does delivery take?

Orders placed before 3PM are dispatched the same day! We use Royal Mail Tracked 48 as standard, so your order typically arrives within 2 business days. Express next-day delivery options are also available at checkout.

Can I customize my star map or moon phase print?

Absolutely! You can customize the date, time, location, colors, fonts, text lines, and layout. Our real-time preview lets you see exactly how your personalized print will look before you order.

Is the star map astronomically accurate?

Yes! Our star maps use professional astronomical data to show the exact position of stars and constellations as they appeared from your chosen location at your specific date and time.

What sizes are available?

We offer five sizes to suit any space: A4, S (30x40cm), M (40x50cm), L (50x70cm), and XL (60x80cm). All prints are produced on premium 260gsm photo lustre paper. Framed, print-only, and canvas options are available.
