How to improve your article
You can also browse Wikipedia:Featured articles and Wikipedia:Good articles to find examples of Wikipedia's best writing on topics similar to your proposed article. Improving your odds of a speedy review To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags. Editor resources

This template is for use on astronomical objects that do not have a specialized infobox template of their own.
Required parameters
- "ra" — the parameter for right ascension
- "dec" — the parameter for declination
- "epoch" — the parameter for astronomical epoch
- "type" — the parameter for object type (put unknown or undefined if there is no type)
- this value should be wikified, if possible
Optional parameters
- "constel" — the parameter for the constellation
- use a comma separated list if there is more than one constellation, please wikify the list
- distance
- "dist_pc" — the distance to the object, in parsecs
- "dist_ly" — the distance to the object, in light years
- apparent characteristics - in visible light
- "appsize" — the apparent size of the object (such as radius or diameter)
- this should be given in angular units, such as milliarcseconds (mas)
- "appmag" — the apparent magnitude of the object (brightness)
- "appdim" — the apparent dimensions of the object (a bivalue term, that gives the major diameter and minor diameter)
- this should be given in angular units, such as milliarcseconds (mas)
- "appsize" — the apparent size of the object (such as radius or diameter)
- "absmag" — the absolute magnitude of the object (luminosity)
- "size" — the "true size" of the object, a trivalue term, such as height x width x depth
- this should be given in astronomical distance units, such as megaparsecs, or redshiftspace terms
- motion
- "propmo" — the proper motion of the object, the movement of the object across the sphere of the sky, as a 2-D projection
- this should be given in angular units per unit time, such as arcminutes per decade
- "radvel" — the radial velocity of an object, the movement of the object towards or away from us
- in the case of objects at cosmological distances, this value should be that that is not covered by the expansion of space
- "pecmo" — the peculiar motion of an object, the velocity of an object in space, this is a vector value
- for objects at cosmological distances, this value is that that is not covered by Hubble motion
- "propmo" — the proper motion of the object, the movement of the object across the sphere of the sky, as a 2-D projection
