Freeze a moment in time with a Personalised Star Map from The Celestial Archive.
Choose a date, time, and location to create a custom star map showing exactly how the sky looked at that moment — a beautifully personal keepsake for weddings, anniversaries, births, or any occasion worth remembering.
Printed on fine art paper, these star maps are stylish, timeless and designed to be cherished.
Your Star Map
The deep blue galaxy is hand-painted in watercolour before being digitally personalised with the planets and constellations watching over your chosen moment. Your Star Map is then printed onto high-quality Marrutt 316gsm fine art paper and shipped to you with the utmost care.
Please note:
I will always aim to get your star map created and shipped within 7 working days – a lot of love and hard work go into them.
How it works
Choose your paper size: pick the size that suits your space, from a small keepsake print to a larger statement piece.
Fill in your details: a short form will ask for the date, time and location you'd like captured, plus any personal message or names you'd like included at the bottom.
Then, I paint the background by hand in watercolour, then digitally map your exact night sky over it, adding your chosen wording.
Once complete, I carefully packaged your one-of-a-kind star map and post it straight to your door.
