You want your star map gift to look really nice, so we make sure to use top quality materials and the best production standards for all our products.

So the star chart at noon and at midnight over your wedding location look very different! We want your custom map to show the sky as it really was (even it it was daylight and the stars were not visible) rather than showing the night sky at an arbitrary time. So why do it? Because the position of the stars in the sky over a given place changes during the course of a 24h day. It takes quite a bit of extra computation to calculate this. Your star map gift will be precise down to the minute. The night sky AND the day sky: why exact time matters But we feel it’s important, what’s the point of showing constellation lines without naming them?Īnd this way, you can use our sky maps for stargazing as true astronomical charts, the information is all there.

Star colors and size reflect what we see in the night sky When customising your map, you can choose to display or not the constellations with their names and the main star names. The Solar system planets, the Moon and the Sun are also shown. This is actually more stars than are visible to the naked eye, even on a clear night, with no light pollution. Every tiny dot in your map corresponds to a star that was actually there. At any time of day or night, for past or future dates, anywhere on earth.Īll the stars up to magnitude 7 that were visible in the sky at that moment in time above that precise location are plotted. Unlike some other star charts that only show major stars, our maps show 7,000 to 8,000 stars, the constellations and the Solar System planets.
