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 relies on an HYG-derived catalog, local sidereal time and a stereographic projection to position the stars above the horizon of the chosen place.
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 digital PDF if you want to print it yourself, or the printed poster (A2, 16×20″ or 18×24″, frame not included) for a ready-to-give present. The circle shape is a classic choice.
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. 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 an HYG-derived catalog listing the stars visible to the naked eye (magnitude ≤ 6.5). The calculation combines local sidereal time and a stereographic projection; it applies neither precession nor proper motion. The method and its limitations are published on the method page (/accuracy). Available from $14.00.
