This is the template sandbox page for Template:Astronomical catalogs (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
This template shows a succession of entries in a specified astronomical catalog before and after a given value. For instance, if you tell the template to include Caldwell 99, it will also show links to Caldwells 90-98 and 100-108. If you do not specify a catalog it will not be displayed in the template.
At the moment the template accepts Messier, NGC, IC, PGC, UGC, TrES, HIP, SAO, Caldwell, Collinder, Arp, LTT, NLTT, GC, HR, PPM, HD, Abell, RCW, and Gum, but can be enlarged to any other composed only by numbers.
