Calculated, never drawn from a template.
We take the place and the minute you give us and work out what the sky looked like from there. Four things go into every print.
- 01The stars
- Every star bright enough to see on a dark night, from the Yale Bright Star Catalogue and the HYG database, placed for your exact place and minute.
- 02The Moon
- NASA's own maps of the Moon, surface photographs and laser-measured relief, lit by the real Sun and turned the way it looked from where you stood.
- 03The planets
- Worked out for the minute you choose with an open astronomy library built on the same models observatories use.
- 04Your words
- Names, a line of your own and every label on the print, in your language and its own script.

What we promise everyone who orders.

- A file, so the rest is yoursNo shipping, no customs, no waiting. You choose the paper, size and frame that suit your room, and print as many copies as you like.
- Honest reviews onlyWe only ever show reviews from people who bought from us, and we publish the critical ones too.
- A person answersWrite to us and someone on the team replies within one business day. If we made a mistake, we fix it or refund you.
Who we are
Sigastra Gifts is built by Saša Ignjatović at Sigvanta LLC, a software company registered in Wyoming, USA. He designed the star engine, the Moon renderer and the studio, and checks how exactly every sky is drawn. Every message is answered by the team, not a bot.
Saša on LinkedInOne sky, the whole Sigastra family.
Sigastra began with one question: where exactly was the sky at the moment that mattered to you? Sigastra answers it as an astrology app, and Sigastra Studio gives astrologers the tools to answer it for their clients. Sigastra Gifts is the natural next step: the same care for an exact sky, turned into something you can hang on a wall and give to someone you love.
