Questions
Good to know
How do you work out the sky?
From the stars' real positions in the Hipparcos star catalogue, carried to your moment and turned to the sky above your place. You get the stars you could see with your own eyes on a clear, dark night, joined into the constellations' usual shapes. We use UK clock time, with summer time allowed for.
What if it was cloudy that night?
We show the sky above the clouds: the stars that were there, whatever the weather did. The Moon and the planets aren't shown.
Will I see it before I pay?
Yes. You see the whole poster as you make it — the sky, the design and your words — and you approve it before checkout.
Which sizes and finishes can I choose?
A3, A2 and A1 on 200gsm matte paper, unframed or framed in black, white or oak. Canvas comes in 30×45, 40×60 and 60×90cm. Portrait or landscape.
Can I change the words?
Yes — the title, the place's name and the line underneath. We fill in the date, the time and the coordinates for you; change any of it to anything you like. Please check your spelling carefully — we print the wording you approve.
Can I put the stars and a street map on one poster?
Yes — a story map puts two or three places on one poster, and each can be a street map, the night sky over it, or one of your own photos: where you met, the night you said I do, your first home. Make a story map.
How is it delivered, and what if it arrives damaged?
