Full description
The sky of your night, edge to edge: hills below, the vault above, the constellations traced and the Milky Way across it. You give the place, date and time — the evening you met, the wedding, a birth — we compute the position of every star at that moment, and the Milky Way only appears where it really was.
Beneath, on the dark ground, your two names, the date with the place, then the exact coordinates. The preview picks the direction where the sky is richest — bright stars, the Milky Way — and keeps that choice: what you see is what is printed. The hills are a backdrop, not the real skyline of the place.
- 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 place, the date and the time
A birth, a first meeting, a wedding. The time is the local time at the place; daylight saving is accounted for.
- We compute the sky
Every star visible to the naked eye, exactly where it was, and the constellations. Ten styles, a title, a dedication.
- 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
How is this different from the star map?
The star map draws the whole sky inside a disc, horizon at the edge. Here the sky fills the whole poster, seen from the ground: hills below, the Milky Way across it, and your names on the dark ground. The fields, sizes and prices are the same.
What gift for a meeting or wedding anniversary?
The sky of the night it all began: you give the place, date and time, and the poster shows the exact stars of that evening, with the Milky Way if it had risen. It carries your two names and the coordinates of the place, and works just as well for a birth or a proposal.
What if I don’t know the time?
Pick nightfall, around 10 pm, and check the preview: the sky turns about fifteen degrees an hour, and the Milky Way moves with it. For a birth, the time on the birth record gives the exact sky.
What does the starry sky poster show?
The sky above the place at the chosen date and time, seen from the ground: the stars visible to the naked eye (down to magnitude 6), the constellation lines and the Milky Way where it really was. A poster can’t show the whole horizon, so the preview picks the direction where the sky is richest — bright stars, the Milky Way — and keeps it in your order.
Is the Milky Way in its real place?
Its position is: it is placed from galactic coordinates, for the place, date and time you give. Its look — the glow and its clouds — is a drawn rendering, not a photograph. Some nights it sits low on the horizon or below it, and the poster doesn’t invent it.
Are the hills the ones at that place?
No, they are drawn hills, a backdrop along the horizon line. Everything above them — stars, constellations, the Milky Way — is computed for your place.
Which date and time should I enter?
Those of the moment you want to keep: a birth, a first meeting, a wedding. The time is the local time at the place; if you don’t know it, pick nightfall, around 10 pm.
Can I choose which way the sky faces?
No: the preview picks the direction where the sky is richest, 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, horizon at the edge.
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.
