Pick a photo

A portrait, a pet, a favourite person pulling a face. Anything with a clear outline works.

Outline

We turn your photo into a clean line portrait. No filters, just lines.

Poster

We search the real night sky for stars that line up with the portrait, then put them on a poster. Every dot is a real star, no cheating. Get it as a print-ready PDF, or framed and delivered to your door.

Find it in the sky

  • ✓ Scan the QR code on the poster to open our free app
  • ✓ Point your phone at the sky and follow the arrows until your constellation appears
  • ✓ Meet each star: how far away it is, what colour it is, how it got its name
  • ✓ Works when the constellation is above the horizon and the sky is dark. The pointing is approximate, and many of the stars are faint, so in a city the phone will show you more than your eyes can
