- "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.)

- 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

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
