Dedication of Stars

The Bavarian Public Observatory Munich offers Dedications of Stars as an interesting option for a very special gift.

Alas, you cannot buy or rename stars in the heavens.

BUT we offer you a special chance to dedicate a star to a single person:

• You name us a person to whom you want to give this special present and we send to you a nice colored star document, including a small star map, showing the constellation which holds the chosen star. The star document can be created in German, English or French language.
• We add the star and its sponsor to our "register of dedicated stars", which is published in the public observatory.

For only 45 Euro you can buy a dedication of a faint star. Please order our information package including the order form for additional details.

With a "Dedication of stars" you directly support the Bavarian Public Observatory. The observatory has been providing astronomical education and services to the public for more than 60 years, heavily relying on the honorary efforts of our members.
