Some nights deserve to be kept. The evening you first met, the night you said yes, the small hours when your first child arrived. Personalised Star Maps (formerly our Double Star Map) place the real night sky from 2-5 of those moments side by side on a single print, each panel calculated for its own date and place.<\/p>
A single star map captures one night. This print tells a longer story. Choose two, three, four or five dates, give each one its location, and the skies appear next to each other as one composition: the constellations above the registry office, the stars over the maternity ward, the sky above the cottage where you spent your first summer together. Every panel is generated from astronomical data for the exact time and coordinates you enter, so the Plough, Orion or Cassiopeia sit precisely where they were that night.<\/p>
Couples choose it for anniversaries and wedding gifts: the night you met beside the night you married. Parents often pick the birth skies of each child, one panel per little one, and add a new panel when the family grows. Friends mark the cities where they studied, shared a flat or travelled together. Because you decide how many skies to include, the print fits a new couple just as well as a family of five.<\/p>
Pick a colour scheme and decide whether you want constellation lines, the Milky Way and a grid. Everything updates in the live preview as you click.<\/p>
Type in each date, time and location. Under every sky there is room for a caption: a name, a date, a line from your first dance or simply the name of the town. Add as many panels as your story needs, from two to five.<\/p>
Order it as a poster, framed or unframed, as a canvas, or as a digital file to print locally. Posters are produced on heavy, matte paper that keeps the dark background rich and the stars crisp.<\/p>
Personalised Star Maps make a quietly impressive present for a wedding, a milestone anniversary, a new baby or Christmas. The recipient sees their own nights, not a generic design, and the print keeps its meaning for years. If you are short on time, choose the digital download, which lands in your inbox within minutes.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
