You’ll find custom star map wall art printed on art paper in finishes like matte, satin, or glossy, with a number of items using heavier cardstock for a more substantial feel. Several sellers also offer canvas prints or canvas wraps. For a more modern look, some star map items come as metal prints, acrylic panels, or wood-mounted art.
Typically, you’ll need the date and exact time, plus the location (city or latitude/longitude) you want the sky mapped for. Many custom star map items also let you add names, a short message, and choose a design style (minimal, watercolor, or constellation-heavy) and colors. Digital or printed items may request a preferred orientation and size.
You’ll see several framing choices for custom star map prints, depending on the item. Many sellers offer unframed art prints so you can use your own frame, while others sell ready-to-hang framed prints with simple black, white, or wood-look frames. Some items come as canvas wraps or poster hangers, and a few include matting options.
You’ll find custom star map items in a range of standard print sizes, from smaller desk-friendly prints to larger wall posters. Several sellers also offer multiple aspect ratios, including common frame sizes and a few square formats. Digital star map files may come in a set of sizes so you can print at home or through a print shop.
Many custom star map items are sold as physical prints (unframed or framed) on matte, satin, or glossy paper, and some use thicker cardstock or canvas. Digital formats are also widely available, often delivered as high-resolution JPG or PDF files you can print yourself. A few sellers offer poster-style sizes or multi-panel sets.

Star maps show the locations of celestial bodies in the night sky and have been critical for navigation throughout history. Custom star maps represent the precise position of constellations at a certain time on a specific day and year. Using complex calculations, astronomers can calculate the location of celestial objects at any point in the past and the future.


Customized star maps use these calculations to draw visual pictures. Some use lines to connect the major constellations present on a specific day and time. Some surround the constellations with a picture outline of the person or object the star formation represents—such as the cluster of Ursa Major (the Great Bear), which is placed within the outline of a bear.


Other maps show the vibrant colors of nebula clouds, the twinkle of stars, and the amazing formations of other celestial bodies—set against the backdrop of the hazy Milky Way—as seen through a powerful telescope. Whatever style you're looking for, you'll find a map of the nighttime sky to spark wonder and imagination.

Chances are, you're looking for a star map that points to a significant day for you or someone close to you. Below are some ideas for a customized star map:


  • Custom birthday star map: A snapshot of the formation of celestial objects on a loved one's date of birth gives them a cosmic connection to their birthday.
  • Custom anniversary star map: Nothing symbolizes forever like presenting someone special with a custom star map of their wedding date—a gift that immortalizes the day.
  • Custom star map of historic moments: If your loved one is intrigued by a certain event in history—such as Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation or the start of the American Revolution—a custom star map by date can pinpoint the night sky on the day of that momentous event in history.

Whether it's to accessorize or to liven up the occasion, sellers on Etsy offer a range of personalized gifts that can pair well with a memorable map of the stars. Here are some suggestions to complement a customized star map:
