My sister bought a night sky map to celebrate the birth of our son. What a beautiful gift! The print is of the highest quality, presenting the night sky in wonderfully clear detail. It's lovely to have the time, date and place of birth recorded on the map too. Ours was already framed in a smart light weight frame, and now hangs proudly in our son's nursery. I recommend the night sky maps very highly as a top quality gift for others, or to treat yourself!

PRODUCT PURCHASED: CLASSIC SKY MAP As there were no reviews of this company on here I was a little dubious about ordering. However I received great customer service, and a fantastic poster print. I typed my time and location into a few similar websites, and several displayed the Sun in the same location, giving me the confidence that Greaterskies.com are using the proper star database/ programme to generate their star maps. I chose this company as preferred their style and size of print. Plus [as they are based in Cambridge] they had a star map tribute to the late Stephen Hawking on their website, which was touching and demonstrated professionalism in my eyes. I was keen to buy the framed option, but due to having to hang this in an awkward location over plug sockets (where a wall mounted TV used to be), I decided not to risk this, and instead bought a massive deep frame elsewhere that I knew would definitely fit. The unmounted poster arrived in good packaging, without damage. It was protected with special wrapping, within a poster tube. It also arrived within 2 days of ordering, by Parcelforce rather than Royal Mail. I initially thought the star map with constellation labels might look a bit 'busy', as the unlabelled version is gorgeous. However in the end I opted for constellation labels so that I could pick out all the planets. I'm glad I did, the print is gorgeous, and not too 'busy' at all. I’m really pleased with the print quality, and have now framed it myself. I’m intending to hang it on the wall the day before our wedding anniversary whilst hubby is out. See if he notices when he comes home! By the way, I only bother to leave reviews on these websites when I’ve risked buying from a company with few or no reviews. I would not be going to this effort for a well known company, but I received great customer service (several emails), and so I’m hoping this helps others know that they can rely on this business.
