Personalised starry sky poster — your couple under the stars, on a bench

Four silhouettes, sitting close together on a bench: a woman and a man, a man and a woman, two men or two women. You click the one that looks like you, and the preview changes at once.

The sky of the night it all began, with the couple under the stars: you give the place, date and time, and the poster shows the exact stars of that evening, with your two names and the coordinates of the place. It is just as good for a proposal or an engagement.

The sky above the place, on the date and at the time you choose, edge to edge with no white border: the stars visible to the naked eye (down to magnitude 6) and the constellations traced, with the silhouette of a couple sitting on a bench cut out against the horizon at the bottom. Beneath, on the dark ground, your names, the date with the place, and the coordinates.

Four: a woman and a man, a man and a woman (the woman sits on the left or on the right, and the pose is not the same), two men or two women. The silhouettes sit close together, facing the sky. You pick the one that looks like you, and you can change it at any time: the preview follows.

No: they are drawings, a backdrop on the horizon, and they do not portray anyone in particular. Everything above them — stars and constellations — is calculated for your place, date and time.

Those of the moment you want to keep: a first meeting, a proposal, a wedding, a birth. The time is the local time of the place; if you do not know it, pick nightfall, around 10 pm.

No: the preview picks the one where the sky is richest in bright stars, and that choice is saved with your order — what you see is what is printed. For the whole sky, the star map shows it as a disc, with the horizon at the edge.

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.
