They'll do a better job than any stationary shop. You can print it on any size: A4, A3, A2. It won’t get blurry. Ask for 300 gsm paper or higher, It’s ideal for poster printing. We use the same 300 gsm matte finished paper.
The entire library of all celestial objects which includes approx. 100 million stars, comets and asteroids has been logged by NASA Astronomical Data Center Star Catalog. This data comes from past and present NASA planetary missions, astronomical observation and laboratory measurements. We use this data and feed it into our proprietary software which then uses the geographical coordinates and the date-time provided by you to chart out an accurate map of these objects. We then beautify this map by adding graphics and plotting popular constellations to create a timeless piece of art that is ready to adorn your wall forever. You can verify the authenticity of our star maps using any open source or free app available to check live sky data.
If you enable constellation names, It'll show you all constellation names on the star map, including names of planets and will name the sun and moon if they are coming in you map. We suggest that you select A3 size, if you're enabling the names, for better readability. Additionally in fixed background options some names may appear going out of the boundary and it'll be printed like that due to some limitation. We have already put a note for that and show you when you select the fixed background.
For more details on constellations, you can look them up in websites such as https://www.solarsystemquick.com/universe/star-constellations.htm or https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-map/ once your map has been designed.
