  • "supershell"
  • "molecular cloud"
  • "infrared cirrus"
  • "Bok globule"
  • "giant molecular cloud"
  • "molecular cloud complex"
  • "supernova remnant"
• type2 (optional) - if the type is unsupported, place it here; can also be used to specify an alternate type
• name – the name of the nebula.
• image (optional) – an image, specified in the form imagename.ext without specifying "FILE:" and without the [[ brackets ]]

  ie.) sampleimage.jpg

• caption (optional) – a caption for the image
• credit (optional) – a credit for the image
• subtype (optional) - the subtype of this type of nebula; can also be used to specify an alternate type
• class (optional) - the class of the subtype of nebula
• epoch – the epoch when the coordinate measurements were taken

  NOTE This parameter requires that ra , dec , epoch all be set

• ra – the right ascension of the nebula; please use {{RA}} or {{Deg2HMS}} filling in hours, minutes, seconds

  NOTE This parameter requires that ra , dec , epoch all be set

• dec – the declination of the nebula; please use {{DEC}} filling in ±degrees, minutes, seconds

  NOTE This parameter requires that ra , dec , epoch all be set

• dist_ly – the distance of the nebula, in light years

  NOTE This parameter is incompatible with dist_z

• dist_pc – the distance of the nebula, in parsecs

  NOTE This parameter is incompatible with dist_z

• dist_z - the distance of the nebula, in dimensionless redshift

  NOTE This parameter is incompatible with dist_pc and dist_ly

• appmag_v (optional) – the apparent magnitude of the nebula
• appdia (optional) - the apparent diameter of the nebula, in degrees,minutes,seconds,milliseconds of arc
• size_v – the apparent dimensions of the nebula
• constellation – the constellation containing the nebula. Should be wikilinked.
• radius_ly (optional) – the radius of the nebula, in light years
• radius_pc (optional) – the radius of the nebula, in parsecs
• dimensions (optional) - the real dimensions of the nebula if the radius isn't sufficient to describe it
• absmag_v (optional) – the absolute magnitude of the nebula
• notes (optional) - notes
• names (optional) – any other names, catalogue designations, etc.
