Full description
The sky exactly as it was above the maternity ward, at the hour of birth — and the true phase of the moon that night, named beneath the first name. The stars are not decorative: they are computed for that place, that date and that hour.
Stars visible to the naked eye down to magnitude 6, from the Hipparcos catalogue, precession and daylight saving included; the moon is NASA’s, with its seas, lit exactly as it was. The time and place make the sky; you add the weight, the length, the parents and a short line.
- 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.

How it works
- Give the date, the time and the place
The sky is calculated for that minute, above that place: the real stars and the real phase of the moon.
- Write what matters
The name and the date, then, if you like, the weight, the length and the parents’ names. The preview follows every keystroke: what you see is what gets printed.
- We print in Aveyron
To order, on 250 g matte paper: in our Aveyron workshop, whatever the size, and every poster is checked there before it ships. Or you receive the download link for the file by e-mail.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good gift for a new baby that shows the sky on the night they were born?
This personalised birth print draws the real night sky above the place of birth, at the exact time, with the real phase of the moon that night, then the name, date, weight and length. Grandparents, godparents and friends give it to the parents for a new baby, a christening or a first birthday. Five colour palettes, from A4 to 70 × 100 cm.
Where can I find the exact time a baby was born?
Ask the parents: the time is noted at birth in the baby’s health record, and the maternity hospital has it in its records too. It matters: the sky turns fifteen degrees in an hour, so the stars above the place are no longer the same. Without the time, the star sign birth print only needs the date.
What goes on a birth print?
The first name, the date, and depending on the design the time, the weight, the length, the place and the parents’ names. Everything is optional except the name and the date (and, on the star map, the time and place): empty medallions disappear rather than leaving a hole, and the layout stays balanced. A short free line can be added on four of the seven designs.
Does the preview really match what is printed?
Yes, and not by resemblance: the print file is made by opening this very page with your values and capturing the poster. There is no second drawing that could drift from it. If a computed line were missing, production would stop rather than deliver an incomplete print.
Can a long or hyphenated name be used?
Yes, up to twenty-four characters including accents and hyphens. The name shrinks by itself to stay on one line; if it is genuinely long it breaks at the hyphen, never in the middle of a word. “Maximilien-Alexandre” and “María de los Ángeles” fit on all seven designs.
What paper, and which sizes?
250 g matte paper, pigment inks, printed to order in our workshop in the Aveyron, whatever the size. Five sizes matching standard frames: A4, 30 × 40, 40 × 60, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm, with an optional wooden frame on the A4 and 30 × 40, in black, white or natural.
Can I buy only the file?
Yes: the print-ready file contains all five sizes, each as a PDF and a 300 dpi PNG, delivered by a download link after payment. It suits people who print locally or who are giving the print from a distance; the link does not expire.
Can a personalised print be returned?
No: a print carrying a name and a date cannot be resold, and the right of withdrawal does not apply to goods made to your specifications (art. L.221-28 3° of the French Consumer Code). Read the preview before confirming — it is exactly what will be printed.
