Two nights, one story
And every night in between
Two skies calculated separately, each above its own place, on its own date and at its own time. The preview is exactly what will be printed.
Just one night? The star map on its own
Positions computed from the Hipparcos catalogue (ESA), constellation lines from the IAU.
Two nights from the same story on one poster: the night you met and your wedding day, the first date and the proposal, two births. Each sky is computed from Hipparcos for its own place, date and time, and carries its caption, its date and its town. Ten styles, A4 to 70 × 100 cm.
First the object — medium, size, frame — then its content, which you watch take shape in the preview.

Full description
Two nights that matter, side by side: the evening you met and the day you said ‘I do’, the births of your two children, the first date and the proposal. For each one, you give the place, the date and the time; we calculate where every star stood above that spot at that moment, and draw the constellations.
Under each sky, a caption you write — “The night we met”, “Our wedding” — then the date and the place. Beneath them, a shared title — often your two names —, a subtitle and a dedication. The two skies are calculated separately, each at the local time of its own place, daylight saving accounted for: two cities, two nights, two skies.
- 250 g matte paper, pigment inks, printed to order.
- Five sizes: A4, 30 × 40, 40 × 60, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm.
- Optional wooden frame on the A4 and 30 × 40, black, white or natural.
- Or the print-ready file: all five sizes, each as a PDF and a 300 dpi PNG, by download link.

Frequently asked questions
What is a double star map for?
To bring together two nights from the same story: the night you met and your wedding day for a wedding anniversary, the first date and the proposal for Valentine’s Day, two children’s births for their parents. Each sky carries its own caption, its date and the name of its town.
Can the two skies be in two different cities, or two countries?
Yes. Each disc has its own place, date and time, and its sky is calculated separately, at the local time of that place. Meeting in Manchester and marrying in Lisbon gives two different skies, each with the name of its town printed beneath it.
Can the two dates be decades apart, even before we were born?
Yes, each date is up to you. The calculation allows for the slow shift of the sky over the decades: your parents’ wedding and your own, thirty years apart, or a grandmother’s birth and her grandson’s, each show the sky of their own night.
What should the caption under each sky say?
Whatever that night means, in 28 characters at most: “Where we met”, “I do”, a first name for a birth. The caption is optional; without it, the disc keeps its date and its town. Beneath both comes a shared title of up to 24 characters, often your two names, then a subtitle and a dedication.
What if both nights happened in the same place?
Enter the same place twice: the two skies still differ, because the stars above a spot change with the date and the time. The same town is then printed under both discs, and the caption says which of the two nights each one shows.
What do the two star maps show?
Each one shows the stars visible to the naked eye (down to magnitude 6) above its own place, at its own date and time, with the constellations. North is at the top, the horizon at the edge of the disc, like a planisphere: two nights, two skies, side by side.
Which dates and times should I enter?
Those of the two moments you want to bring together: the night you met and your wedding, the first date and the proposal, two births. Each time is the local time at its own place; if you don’t know it, pick nightfall, around 10 pm.
Is the sky accurate?
Positions are computed from the Hipparcos catalogue, precession included, at the local time of the place (daylight saving accounted for). Accuracy is around a tenth of a degree.
Which sizes and frames?
A4, 30 × 40, 40 × 60, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm: standard frame sizes, easy to find in supermarkets and homeware shops. Optional wooden frame on the A4 and 30 × 40, in black, white or natural, with acrylic glass; the larger sizes ship rolled, to frame at home.
What paper is the poster printed on?
250 g/m² matte paper, lightfast pigment inks. Printed to order in our workshop in Aveyron, whatever the size. Shipped rolled, in a sturdy long cardboard box; the A4 travels flat, in a stiff card envelope.
Can I get the file instead of the poster?
Yes. The print-ready file contains all five sizes, each as a PDF and as a 300 dpi PNG — ten files in all, by a download link sent after payment, to print wherever you like.
How long does it take?
Printed within 48 hours, then delivered to your home or a pickup point — home delivery only for the 50 × 70 and 70 × 100. The download link for the print-ready file is sent the same day.
