Parameters
- name – (Mandatory) — The name of the constellation, as defined by the IAU

- the right ascension of the lower and upper extremes of the constellation
- dec – (Mandatory) — declination, use the {{DEC}} template to fill in this parameter
- the declination of the lower and upper extremes of the constellation
- RA – (Mandatory) — right ascension, use the {{RA}} or {{Deg2HMS}} template to fill in this parameter
- liststyle – (Optional) — style for included lists; default is plain,
hlist
for horizontal andflatlist
