About this piece
A Custom Star Map is a print of the night sky over the city and moment you choose. You enter a place and a date, plus a time if you know it, and the stars are drawn where they stood. Add a title, your names and a line of your own, then check the live preview before you order.
How it works
- Your moment: type a city, pick the date and add the time if you know it.
- Your words: write a title, your names and a line of your own, then pick the colors: Midnight, Black, Paper or Blush.
- Finish and size: choose the finish, the shape and the size.
Finishes
- Canvas Print: Printed on canvas, stretched over a solid wooden inner frame and ready to hang.
- Framed Print: A solid wood frame at least 1.2 inches (30 mm) deep, a conservation mat board, an acrylic front and fine art paper of 200 g/m2 or more.
- Poster Print: Printed on poster paper and sent unframed, ready for a frame of your own.
- Digital File: A print-ready file sent by email after your order is checked, to print yourself.
Good to know
- What you see in the live preview is what prints.
- Constellation lines, the sky grid and the coordinates are on to start with. Switch any of them off under More options.
- Personalized products are printed from your details, so they cannot be returned for a change of mind. A print that arrives damaged, faulty or misprinted is replaced free and nothing is sent back: write to us first.

Questions, answered
The short version of our policies. Anything else, write to support@canvaspiece.com.
-
How accurate is a custom star map?
The stars are placed from the date, time and city you enter, so the map shows the sky as it stood over that place at that moment. The preview you see is drawn by the same code that draws the print.
-
What do I need to make a star map?
A city and a date are enough to draw the sky. A time is optional, so add it if you know it. Then write a title, your names and a line of your own, and pick one of four color schemes.
-
Can I make a star map for a past date?
Yes. The date field accepts any date from 1900 to 2100, so you can map a wedding night, a birth, a first date or an anniversary. Choose the city where you stood, and the map shows that sky.
-
Can I turn off the constellation lines or coordinates?
Yes. Open More options on the page to switch off the constellation lines, the sky grid or the coordinates. The preview redraws as you change them, so you can try each version before you order.
-
Which colors can I choose for a star map?
Four color schemes: Midnight, Black, Paper and Blush. Each one changes the background, the sky and the star color together, and your title and names follow the scheme. The preview shows the whole print before you order.
-
Will the colors fade over time?
Archival inks are made to resist fading. Keep the piece out of long hours of direct sun and the color should hold well.
-
How do I pick the right size for my wall?
A good starting point is a piece that fills about two thirds to three quarters of the wall space above the furniture it hangs over. Measure that space before you choose a size.
-
How long will my order take?
8 to 10 business days from the day you order with free Standard Shipping: 2 to 3 business days to print and pack, then 6 to 7 in transit. Express Shipping, a paid option at checkout, takes 6 to 8 business days. Every piece is printed to order and shipped from within your region. Full detail is on the shipping policy.
-
Can I return this piece if it is not right?
Personalized pieces are printed from your details and cannot be returned for a change of mind. A piece that arrives damaged, faulty or misprinted is replaced free and nothing is sent back: write to us first.
