How your poster is made

From typing to a finished print: usually under an hour.

  1. Enter the date

    Type in the date it is about — a wedding night, a first meeting, a birthday or an hour of birth. Any day between 1900 and 2032 works.

  2. Add names and place

    Two names, optionally a place and a short line. The preview updates as you type, so you see the finished image immediately. No account needed.

  3. Buy and download

    After paying €9.90 the download link arrives by email within minutes. The file is 300 DPI and stays available for one year.

  4. Print and frame

    A4 works on any home printer with photo paper. From A3 upwards a photo service is worth it: roughly €4–6 for A3, €8–12 for A2. The 5:7 ratio fits standard frames from €5.

What you get

  • One image file at 300 DPI — sharp from A4 up to A1, plus 50×70 cm and 24×36 inches.
  • Within minutes of ordering, the download link is in your inbox. Nothing is shipped.
  • A 5:7 aspect ratio — fits standard frames from IKEA, a drugstore or any furniture shop.
  • Astronomically computed with the SunCalc library for your date and coordinates, not illustrated.
  • Dates from 1900 to 2032 — any date in that range works.
  • A live preview before you buy: what you see there is exactly the file you download.
  • One year of access to the download, up to 100 times — even if you lose the file.

Digital or printed — what is the difference?

To be fair: if you want a finished, framed poster delivered to your door, a physical seller serves you better. The digital route pays off when it needs to be fast, cheaper, or when you want to choose size and paper yourself.

Frequently asked questions

What did the night sky look like on a specific date?

The sky above a place can be calculated exactly for any date — star positions follow fixed astronomical laws. Date, time and coordinates together produce exactly one constellation pattern. Lumeries computes that for any date between 1900 and 2032 and renders it as a poster, from €9.90.

Is a star map like this astronomically accurate or just decoration?

At Lumeries the actual sky view is computed: star positions, constellations and the horizon line for the coordinates and date you enter. No random patterns, no templates — two different dates produce two different maps.

Which date should you choose for a star map gift?

Most often the night two people met, the wedding night, or a birth. Any date works where both people were in the same place — then the map really shows the sky they stood under.

What does a personalized star map cost?

At Lumeries €9.90 as an instant 300 DPI download, printable up to A1. Physical sellers usually charge €25 to €70 plus shipping for comparable star maps — the difference is the printing, not the content.

How do I print the poster?

The file is 300 DPI and prints anywhere. For A4 a home printer with photo paper is enough. From A3 upwards a photo service is worth it: printing A3 costs roughly €4–6, A2 around €8–12 at most providers. You upload the file there and either collect the print or have it delivered.

Which frame do I need for the poster?

The posters use a 5:7 ratio and fit standard frames in A4, A3, A2 and A1 — everything you find at IKEA, a drugstore or a furniture shop. A plain frame in black, white or oak costs between €5 and €20 depending on size. A passe-partout looks more premium but is not required.

Which paper should I choose?

Matte or satin suits these designs better than gloss and does not reflect behind glass. Photo services usually call it "matte" or "silk". A paper weight from 200 gsm upwards feels substantial and will not warp inside a frame.

How soon do I have the finished poster?

The file arrives within minutes of ordering — nothing is shipped. How fast you hold the printed poster depends only on your printing route: at home immediately, at a copy shop often the same day, with mail-order photo services usually 1–3 working days.
