The Moon was up over Kakamega at that moment: a waning gibbous, 98% lit, 47° above the horizon toward the south-west — the poster draws it where it really stood.
Brightest named stars up at that moment: Arcturus, Rigil Kentaurus, Vega, Hadar, Altair, Acrux. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (0.28°) and longitude (34.75°) of Kakamega. North is up and east is on the left, as when you look up.
Printing it at home? There is a second paper: the same sky as ink on white. A full-bleed night A3 bands on a home printer and drinks a cartridge; the ink one does not. Same price, pick either on the next page.
Preview free, one-off payment, no account. Change the place and the line of text on the poster page, or see which moment to pick for a birth, a wedding or an anniversary.
