==Parameters==
*'''type''' - the general type of nebula; ''default'': "nebula"; ''supported types:'' <div style="margin:0 20px">{{hlist|"nebula"|"dark"|"diffuse"|"emission"|"reflection"|"planetary"|"protoplanetary"|"plerion"|"interstellar cloud"|"high velocity cloud"|"intermediate velocity cloud"|"low velocity cloud"|"supershell"|"molecular cloud"|"infrared cirrus"|"Bok globule"|"giant molecular cloud"|"molecular cloud complex"|"supernova remnant"}}</div>
*'''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 <code>''imagename.ext''</code> without specifying "<code>FILE:</code>" and without the <nowiki>[[</nowiki> brackets <nowiki>]]</nowiki> 
*::''ie.'')  <code>sampleimage.jpg</code>
*'''caption''' (optional) – a caption 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 (astronomy)|epoch]] when the coordinate measurements were taken
*:''NOTE'' This parameter requires that <code>ra</code> , <code>dec</code> , <code>epoch</code> all be set
*'''ra''' – the [[right ascension]] of the nebula; please use {{tl|RA}} or {{tl|Deg2HMS}} filling in hours, minutes, seconds
*:''NOTE'' This parameter requires that <code>ra</code> , <code>dec</code> , <code>epoch</code> all be set
*'''dec''' – the [[declination]] of the nebula; please use {{tl|DEC}} filling in ±degrees, minutes, seconds
*:''NOTE'' This parameter requires that <code>ra</code> , <code>dec</code> , <code>epoch</code> all be set
*'''dist_ly''' – the distance of the nebula, in [[light year]]s

*'''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.
