Thank you for the suggestion. I've thought about setting up an agreement with a print shop, where I can send the PDF or PS to them and they do the printing and sending. But before going that route I wanted to figure out if anybody would want a personalized star chart to start with. Looks like I need to look seriously into it.
- narag 15y agoCheck http://blogalia.com/ http://blogalia.com/ There are some professional astronomers blogging over there, doing divulgation. They might be interested. At the very least, they will link the site.
- vrruiz 15y agoThanks for the mention! (I'm the founder of Blogalia :) IMHO, greaterskies.com is interesting as a project, but: - I don't think anyone will pay for simple visual star charts: there are free sites, free desktop programs and free tablet/mobile apps out there. - If not for visual, but deep sky: there is 3Atlas from José R. Torres (9, 11 and 13 mag sky atlas): http://www.uv.es/jrtorres/tools.html http://www.uv.es/jrtorres/tools.html Available for free in PDF. - The marketing problem: find your tribe! There are some forums, like cloudynights.com (or http://www.asociacionhubble.org/portal/index.php/foro http://www.asociacionhubble.org/portal/index.php/foro in Spanish), but this are mostly for dedicated observers. My 2 cents.
- pragmatic 15y agoLet me buy a nice large star chart on quality paper with fulfillment via Amazon. Yes customization is good, but just the star chart itself would be a cool present for a kid.
