Graduation Star Maps & Moon Phase Prints

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.

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.

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.
