Astronomically Accurate

Your Star Map Uses Real Science

Every star on your poster is placed using the same astronomical formulas used by planetariums and observatories worldwide.

5,000+ Real Stars

Catalogued using J2000.0 epoch coordinates with galactic population modelling, the international standard used by NASA and ESA.

Sidereal Time Calculation

Converts your date, time, and longitude into Local Sidereal Time using the Julian Date formula, matching what was overhead at that moment.

Horizon-Aware Projection

Equatorial coordinates (RA/Dec) are converted to altitude/azimuth for your location, then projected using stereographic projection, the same method used in professional star charts.

25+ Constellations

Constellation lines connect real star pairs using standard IAU patterns. Orion, Ursa Major, Cassiopeia, and more, all accurately positioned.

Real-Time Preview

Change the date, time, or location and watch the star field recalculate instantly. Everything renders live in your browser. Nothing pre-made.

100% Private

All calculations happen in your browser. No data is sent to any server. Your special dates and locations stay completely private.
