The Moon was up over New Orleans at that moment: a waxing gibbous, 94% lit, 77° above the horizon toward the east — the poster draws it where it really stood.
Brightest named stars up at that moment: Sirius, Capella, Rigel, Procyon, Betelgeuse, Aldebaran. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (29.95°) and longitude (-90.08°) of New Orleans. 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.
