Parameters

  • name(Mandatory) — The name of the constellation, as defined by the IAU
  • native(Mandatory) — The three letter IAU abbreviation for the constellation
  • translation(Mandatory) — The genetive form of the constellation's name used in the construction of star names in Bayer designations and Flamsteed designations
  • pronounce(Optional) — The pronunciation of the constellation's name, and the genitive form. Please use the IPA and optionally respelling.

ie. Draco, is "the dragon", so fill in as the dragon
  • RA and dec -- coordinates of the constellation
  • liststyle(Optional) — style for included lists; default is plain, hlist for horizontal and flatlist for bulleted.
