The night sky over Queenstown tonight
The real sky over Queenstown, New Zealand at 25 October 2026, 21:00 local time: 3,209 stars above the horizon, including Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar. Free to view, printable as an A3 star chart.
The Moon was up over Queenstown at that moment: a waxing gibbous, 99% lit, 14° above the horizon toward the north-east — the poster draws it where it really stood.
Brightest named stars up at that moment: Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Altair, Acrux. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (-45.03°) and longitude (168.66°) of Queenstown. 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.
