How accurate are your star maps?
Our star maps use precise astronomical algorithms to render the night sky exactly as it appeared from your chosen location, date and time. We plot over 100,000 stars, constellation lines, and optionally the Milky Way, planets, and moon — all calculated to scientific accuracy. The result is a genuine snapshot of your sky, not a generic design.
What can I customise on my print?
You can personalise almost everything:
- Date, time & location — any moment, anywhere in the world
- Title & subtitle — your message, names, or quote
- Style & colour theme — multiple sky and frame colour options
- Size — from A4 to 60×80cm
- Frame — Black, White, or Natural wood (or unframed print)
- Layout — classic circle, heart, fade, or full bleed
Each product has its own design editor where you preview changes in real time.
What is a Location Map?
Our Location Map is a beautifully styled map print of any special place — where you met, got married, grew up, or had your first date. Choose from multiple map themes, layouts (circle, heart, fade, full), and add custom text and icon markers. It's the perfect companion to a star map for remembering where as well as when.
What's the difference between framed and canvas prints?
Framed prints are printed on premium 250gsm paper with a satin finish, mounted in a solid wood frame with glass. Available in Black, White, or Natural wood.
Canvas prints are gallery-wrapped on a 38mm stretcher bar — no frame needed. The image wraps around the edges for a clean, modern look. Both options are printed in-house in the UK with archival-quality inks.
What are Family Moon Phase prints?
Our Family Moon Phases print shows up to 4 moon phases side by side — perfect for capturing the birth dates of children, wedding + anniversaries, or any set of meaningful moments. Each moon is astronomically accurate for the date you choose.
