The Moon was up over Kinshasa at that moment: a waning crescent, 12% lit, 14° above the horizon toward the south-east — the poster draws it where it really stood.
Brightest named stars up at that moment: Sirius, Canopus, Arcturus, Rigil Kentaurus, Rigel, Procyon. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (-4.33°) and longitude (15.31°) of Kinshasa. 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.
