Why a birth star map makes a good birthday gift

It works at any age, from 18 to 80, because the sky on that day will never look the same again. If you do not know the time of birth, use 10 pm: the result is almost identical. And because it is a digital file, it is ready even if the birthday is today.

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.

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.
