What you get
  • Framed print: Framed and ready to hang.
  • Unframed print: The print on its own, without a frame, to frame yourself.
  • Canvas: Your print on canvas, wrapped round a wooden frame, with sides that carry on from your print’s edges, ready to hang.
  • Digital download: A print-ready PNG and PDF at 300 dpi, sent as a download link by email, for your own personal printing.

Portrait or landscape, in A4, 30 × 40 cm (12 × 16 in), 40 × 50 cm (16 × 20 in), 50 × 70 cm (20 × 28 in). Canvas comes in every size except A4, and unframed prints don’t come in A4 for delivery to the United States or Canada. Framed prints come in black, white, natural wood or dark wood, in a wooden frame behind clear plexiglass, with no card mount.

Framed and unframed prints use Premium Matte paper: 200 gsm, uncoated, with a smooth, non-reflective surface. Colours can look slightly different on paper than on screen.

Delivery and returns

Framed prints, unframed prints and canvases are made to order and sent to your door. Estimated delivery to Australia, printing included: framed print 6–15 days, unframed print 3–8 days, canvas 3–9 days. These are our printer’s estimates, not a guarantee.

A digital file comes as a download link by email, once you’ve paid.

Each print is made to order from the design you approved, so we can’t offer a refund if you change your mind. If your print arrives damaged or faulty, or isn’t the design you approved, we’ll replace it free or refund you in full. Your rights depend on where you live; our terms set them out for Australia, the UK and New Zealand. You can still cancel a print order for a full refund within 2 hours of paying. A digital file is sent straight away at your request, so the right to cancel ends when we send it. Delivery and returns

Written in the Stars

The night that changed everything, charted. The whole sky over your place is drawn as an astronomer's chart: every constellation where it stood, the coordinate grid, the sun's path, and a ring of bearings round the horizon. Above it sit the moon's phase that night and your star sign, and your own words, the place, the date and its coordinates go beneath.

What you’ll need: The place, found by name, and the date and time of the night; then your own words and names.

How it’s made: The sky is worked out for that exact minute and place from the Yale Bright Star Catalogue, so every star stands where it really stood. Paper prints are on Premium Matte, 200 gsm, made to order.

Questions

How accurate is the sky?

We calculate the stars, planets and moon ourselves for your date, time and place, and test the maths against a professional astronomy library: positions agree to within 0.3°.

Will my print look exactly like the preview?

Yes. The preview is drawn by the same page that makes your print file, with the same layout and the same text. The print simply has more pixels: 300 dots per inch. What you approve is what we print.

What sizes and frames can I choose?

Every size comes portrait or landscape. Framed: A4, $55 AUD; 30 × 40 cm (12 × 16 in), $80 AUD; 40 × 50 cm (16 × 20 in), $110 AUD; and 50 × 70 cm (20 × 28 in), $145 AUD. Framed prints come in black, white, natural wood or dark wood, in a wooden frame behind clear plexiglass, with no card mount.

Can I buy a print without a frame, or a digital file?

Yes. Choose it under Format. An unframed print is the same print without a frame, from $20 AUD to $30 AUD by size (not in A4 for delivery to the United States or Canada). A canvas is $70 AUD at the smallest size, wrapped round a wooden frame, with sides that carry on from your print’s edges and ready to hang, in every size except A4. A digital file is $15 AUD: a print-ready PNG and PDF at 300 dpi, sized for the print size you choose, sent as a download link by email that lasts 30 days.

A digital file is for your own personal printing, not for sale or sharing. We sell digital files worldwide, priced in your region’s currency. In the UK and the EU, the price includes VAT at your country’s rate.

Can I cancel or change my order after I’ve paid?

Changed your mind or spotted a mistake? You can cancel a print order for a full refund within 2 hours of paying, from your order page. After that it goes to be printed. An order with a digital file can’t be cancelled, because the file is sent straight away. To change a design, cancel it and order again. Check the preview carefully before you pay: it’s exactly what we print.

Is there a map credit or your logo on the poster?

No. Your print carries only your design: no logo, no credit line. Every map and data credit is on our credits page.
