I couldn't wait to get this star map. Shipping was fast and it was an even more beautiful in person than I expected!
The quality of the poster is excellent. It is so thick and richly pigmented, I almost hated to frame it so it couldn't be touched!
Truly a special gift and I would recommend 100% if you want something to commemorate a really special event in your life!

She loves looking at the stars but the night in question on her print there was a heavy snowstorm and we slid into a guardrail doing 40 this knocked our headlights out and we had to stop and buy shoelaces to tie them in so that we could complete the 2 hours left on our journey... she loved the reminder of that night.

Amazed

It is so beautiful, designs are sharp. Beautiful picture! I love it all. However be careful because it's matted it's easy so scratch and leave a permanent mark on your picture!

They display the sky incorrectly. The skies of every date and every time are flipped along the north-south direction. They all display the sky on a "facing south" orientation, but flip it for some stupid reason. They try to conserve the cardinal directions, but in reality, when you're facing south when looking at the night sky, cardinal west is to your right and cardinal is to your left. It is completely flipped in their version. Their rendering is not truly realistic. Homemade planetariums are more accurate than this. Search up and compare the same dates, locations, and times from this website and https://skyandtelescope.org/interactive-sky-chart/ or https://stellarium-web.org/ This website has it flipped the wrong way. Constellations are so obviously backwards. Plus, I tried to contact them about this issue and tried to find the easy-way-out by telling me they are correct because they use information from the Yale Bright Star Catalog instead of looking into the problem sympathetically.

Hi John,

Thank you for raising this.

Regarding what you can see on our star maps, to map the celestial hemisphere, we originally decided to use stereographic projection, as we have found that most historical star charts use it or something very similar, nevertheless, we could have picked any of the dozens of other projection techniques. The point being, choosing a map projection and its parameters is mostly a question of "taste" as well as utilitarian considerations of the map creator.

Based on early feedback on our project, we decided to switch to a different projection aspect. We elected to switch the aspect point to a zenith point above the chosen location because we have found that the mirrored position of cardinal directions is confusing for the eye that is used to North -> East -> South -> West (CW), especially considering how prominent these directions are in our design. With the new aspect, we could keep the "traditional" order that most people are used to on maps of the Earth while keeping the projection factual.

The projection we use is true, but the aspect is different. You can think of it as "the celestial hemisphere looks from above", or, sentimentally put, the view from Heaven. Indeed, not a typical choice of projection.

These are the thoughts that went into the decision of our projection,
