Why gift a star map of Anchorage?
Gifting a star map of Anchorage means immortalizing a moment in Alaska's largest city, between ocean, mountains and nights of light. Whether it was a proposal beneath the auroras, an anniversary at Glacier Brewhouse, or a summer solstice on the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, this map captures the exact stars of your moment. A present as rare and unforgettable as the Far North itself.
The sky of Anchorage
At 61.2° north latitude, Anchorage places Polaris 61° above the horizon — nearly at the zenith — and plunges the city into a frequent aurora season from August to April. Away from downtown lights, Chugach State Park and the Kenai Peninsula offer Bortle 2-3 skies under which the aurora can fill the entire sky. In summer, conversely, astronomical twilight vanishes for several weeks around the solstice.
