FAQ
Can you create a star map for any date?+
Yes. Our algorithm handles any date between 1 AD and 3000 AD, any time, and any city on Earth. It uses the HYG v4.2 catalog and IAU sidereal time algorithms to position 8,921 stars with astronomical accuracy.
Does the map show the stars from any location?+
Absolutely. The visible sky depends on latitude, longitude, and time. Enter any city — Paris, New York, Tokyo, Sydney — and our engine computes the exact stereographic projection based on your coordinates.
What is the best format for an anniversary?+
For an anniversary gift, we recommend the high-resolution PNG digital format if you want to print it yourself, or the premium paper print (A2, 16×20″ or 18×24″) for a ready-to-give present. The circle shape is the most popular.
How to give the star map as a surprise?+
Order the digital format: you receive the file instantly after payment. Print it at a local print shop or order a premium print. Put it in a frame and wrap it. The whole process can be done in a few hours, even the night before the anniversary.
Is the star map astronomically accurate?+
Yes. OwnStarMap uses the HYG v4.2 scientific catalog listing all stars visible to the naked eye (magnitude ≤ 6.5). Our algorithms compute sidereal time, precession, and coordinate conversion following International Astronomical Union standards. The result is verifiable with any planetarium software. Available from ~$14.12.
