Starplot Sticker

Hello 👋 I'm Steve Berardi — a software engineer and amateur astronomer who loves creating maps of the sky. I create all my maps with Starplot, an open-source Python library I built which is now used by astronomers and astrophysicists around the world. I'm also building Sky Atlas, an app that helps you explore the night sky and plan your observations.

I’ve been fascinated by sky maps ever since buying my first telescope eyepiece from Explore Scientific and seeing those beautiful maps by Wil Tirion on the box. Then I started collecting sky atlases, which eventually inspired me to try and create them.
