Frequently asked questions about star maps
What is a custom star map?
It is a print showing the night sky exactly as it looked from one place on a given date and time. It is also called a personalised star map, night sky print, star chart or constellation map, and it is a popular anniversary, wedding and new baby gift.
Is the map real?
Yes. Positions are computed from a star catalogue for the date, time and coordinates you choose. It is not a generic decorative image.
What if I don’t know the exact time?
Use 10 pm. The sky turns only a little in an hour, so the map will look very similar.
Will anything be shipped to me?
No. It is a digital file you download straight away. You decide where and at what size to print it.
How does payment work?
You pay by card through a secure checkout. When you finish, the download button brings you back to this page with your map ready, without the watermark. You also get an email with the same button.
Can I fix a mistake after paying?
Yes. Before you download we ask you to check the text. If you spot a mistake afterwards, write to stelarmapstudio@gmail.com and we will send you the corrected file.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. If the file fails or you can’t download it, write to stelarmapstudio@gmail.com and we will send it to you. Because it is a made-to-order digital file, it can’t be returned for a change of mind once downloaded, which is why you can design it and see the full preview before you pay.
What if my city isn’t in the search?
Paste the coordinates just as Google Maps gives them and the map is computed the same way.
How accurate is the map?
Stars are placed with an error of less than one degree, which on a 30 cm print is about one millimeter. The map shows stars, constellations and the Milky Way. It does not draw planets, so a very bright point you remember, such as Venus or Jupiter, may not appear. It is a decorative print, not a scientific instrument.
Can I make a star map for free?
Designing it is free: the star map maker works online and shows you the full result with no sign-up and no payment. You only pay, from €12.99, to download the high-resolution file without the watermark. For a completely free route, our guide on how to make a star map explains how to do it with planetarium software.
Is a star map the same as a birth chart?
No. A birth chart is astrology: it places the planets in the signs of the zodiac to interpret personality. A star map is astronomy: it shows the stars and constellations that were in the sky above a place on a given date and time. The framed gift people look for is the star map.
How much does a custom star map cost?
Designing it and seeing the preview is free; you only pay for the download: €14.99 for one print (€12.99 with the launch offer until 31 December 2026), with cheaper packs of two or three. There are no shipping costs.
Can I see it before I pay?
Yes. The editor shows the full preview with your date, place and text, and you can try every style and template without signing up. You only pay when you like it, and the file you download has no watermark.
Is it a good gift for someone who has everything?
It’s one of the best, because it isn’t one more object: it’s a memory. Nobody else has the sky of that date, so it’s a unique gift even for people who say they don’t need anything.
