5 out of 5 starsWe had a star map for our first date and wanted a wedding day one to match and use as a guest book! It is just as fabulous as that first date one from 6 years ago and the seller talked to me to make sure it matched perfect!

Frequently asked questions
Is this really what night sky looked like?
Yes it really is. Aside from plotting the visible constellations, it's exactly what you would see from horizon to horizon over your head if there was zero light pollution. We include the cardinal directions North, South, East, West on a compass surrounding the outside so you can get your bearings. The stars near the outside edges are the ones closest to the horizon, and the ones in the middle were what you would have seen if you looked straight up. While it would be impossible to see this many stars, planets and the Milky Way galaxy with the human eye from most populated places on earth, we do everything we can to make it possible for you and your loved ones.
How do you know what the night sky looked like at my exact place and time?
We use the same software that the projectors in planetariums use. Star catalogs and and astronomical databases have mapped out the galactic coordinates of every star, planet and galaxy visible from earth. This galactic coordinate system enables an accurate image to be generated from any point on earth at any time in the last 100 years. We then define a stereographic projection from your chosen location to create your 100% unique night sky. It’s not really as complicated as it sounds.
Can I chose the exact time?
Yes you definitely can. By default we use 11pm local time on the date you choose. Our software can plot the exact night sky down to the minute, so if you want to choose a specific time we can definitely make it happen. If it’s a time during the day, then there will be a larger bright star wherever the sun was at that time. The night sky image and everything will render perfectly, but it’s just not realistic to our eyes, so some people prefer to choose a time at night.
