It’s a real measurement
Not clip art of a starry sky. We compute where every star and planet actually stood, from the same ephemeris data used for spacecraft navigation — for your coordinates, to the minute.
Custom star maps · from $2
The night sky of
your moment.
Every moment has a sky. Give back the one that was overhead when it happened — the real stars, in their real positions, for the exact date, time and place.

A gift that can’t be bought twice
It’s specific to one person
The sky above a hospital in Toronto at 04:12 belongs to exactly one birth. Change the place or the hour and the map changes with it. That’s the whole gift.
It’s made to hang
Typeset like a print, not a screenshot: elegant serif titling, a hairline frame, and an export big enough for a large format print.

Verified against the real sky
A star map is only a gift if it’s true. Ours is tested against documented astronomical events, not just eyeballed.
Reference test · Great Conjunction
On 21 December 2020 Jupiter and Saturn passed 6.1 arcminutes apart — their closest approach since 1623, and one of the best-documented skies in modern astronomy. We render that moment and compare our output against the published figures every time the software changes.

Questions
Is the star map astronomically accurate?
Yes. Positions come from NASA JPL ephemeris data for your exact date, time and coordinates, and are verified against published astronomical events — see the reference test above.
What does it cost?
$2.00 USD for the digital download (high-resolution PNG plus scalable SVG). $100.00 USD for the framed print, made to order and shipped.
What dates and places can I use?
Any date from 1900 to 2100, anywhere on Earth. Search a city, landmark or address — the local time zone is applied automatically, so the sky matches the moment as it was actually experienced.
How fast is delivery?
The digital file is generated on demand and available the moment payment completes. Framed prints are made to order.
Can I print the file myself?
Absolutely. You get a large raster file and a vector SVG that scales to any size — fine for home printing or a professional lab.
Can I see it before I buy?
Yes — the preview is free and needs no account. Build your map, look at the real sky for your moment, and only then decide.
