For the man who says he needs nothing.

Fathers are hard to buy for because they are honest about what they will use. This is not a gadget. It is a fact, framed: a real galaxy, its catalogue number, its distance and the minutes its light arrived, above the day that mattered to him.

You give us a date, a time and a place. We compute the point that was directly overhead at that moment, the zenith, and match the real, catalogued galaxy nearest to it that is still unassigned. The artwork is a telescope photograph of that galaxy, finished for print, with the place, the date and up to sixty characters of your words beneath it, in a black wood box frame behind acrylic glazing.

Everything on the artwork can be checked. The coordinates and catalogue ID are printed on it, and a record card with a QR code opens its entry. The kind of father who looks things up will look this up, and find it true.

For a father who would rather see everyone on the wall, the Family Collection gives each person in the family a print of their own, four in matching frames.

Father's Day in the United States is the third Sunday of June. Every artwork is made to order; ordering in May leaves comfortable time.
