What you’re seeing
This generator creates a random star field on a circular sky map using an orthographic projection (as if looking at a hemisphere from far away). It’s meant for ambience, mockups, and print backgrounds—not for navigation. A deterministic seed powers the randomness, so you can recreate a map exactly by reusing the same seed and settings.
- Star count — total number of stars drawn (uniformly on the sphere).
- Brightness — gamma curve that biases stars toward dim or bright.
- Max size — largest star radius in pixels at the center.
- Grid — RA rings every 15° and Declination spokes every 15° for orientation.
- Cardinals — labels N/E/S/W around the rim.
