Question
Hello, is it permissible to instruct a non-Jew to produce stickers of the sun, moon, and stars?
Answer
Hello,
It is prohibited, as it falls under the prohibition of instructing a non-Jew. However, it is permissible to tell a non-Jew to instruct another non-Jew to produce, because there is a dispute on this matter, and instructing a non-Jew to instruct another non-Jew is permitted where there is a dispute.

Responsa Chavot Yair, Siman 46 and Siman 53, mentioned in Mishnah Berurah, Siman 307, Se'if Katan 24.
Also due to the Maharit's (Responsa, Part 2, Siman 35) permission, and even though the halacha is not like him, it is explained in Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 314, Se'if 7, that in a matter where there is a dispute among the poskim, instructing a non-Jew is permitted.
