:Yeah, although I am able to fill in some information, a more specialized template would be needed for constellations, given their special nature.  Perhaps categories such as "abbreviation", "brightest star", "nearest star" and "main stars", that last one would be for the numerable amount of main stars.  Main stars are those that actually are used in the outline of the constellation itself. --[[User:BMcP|BMcP]] 15:45, 2 December 2009 (EST)

Images

Some are ready. --Joaquín Martínez 10:20, 24 June 2009 (EDT)

It seems that thumb does not work fine with .png images. See. Proxima Centauri. --Joaquín Martínez 11:00, 24 June 2009 (EDT)
It seems to work as a thumbnail if you add a specific pixel width to the parameters, figured this out when I was playing with the Alpha Centauri ones. It may be an issue with the wiki software and PNG thumbnails where it requires this, not sure, but adding the pixel width seems to solve it. --BMcP 12;15, 24 June 2009 (EDT)

VW / VY Canis Majoris

In your recent article, VW Canis Majoris, why do you have "VY Canis Majoris is a..." and other mentions of a "VY Canis Majoris". This is very confusing. Is "VY" an alternate name to "VW"? --ChrisZ 18:18, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

No, it should be VY Canis Majoris, and it has been renamed so, I just made a mistake with the article title, is fixed now. --BMcP 21:51, 27 July 2009 (EDT)


Zeta Puppis & VY Canis Majoris - Images; DONE. --Joaquín Martínez 22:53, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

And more: Hs-2005-26-c-large web.jpgHs-1993-18-a-large web.jpg Karajou 16:17, 1 December 2009 (EST)
Thanks Karajou! --BMcP 16:18, 1 December 2009 (EST)
And this one: B01Magellanic Clouds.jpg  :) Karajou 16:25, 1 December 2009 (EST)

Template

Try this infobox template (Template:Night Sky) for your astronomy pages. Karajou 17:18, 1 December 2009 (EST)

Nice template, I will have to start incorporating that into my past (and future) articles. Of course it may mean I'll request several more pics. ;) --BMcP 18:59, 1 December 2009 (EST)
With the template, you have something like this: Andromeda galaxy. Karajou 14:14, 2 December 2009 (EST)

More Images

Your image requests from today have been uploaded. --ṬK/Admin/Talk 14:09, 2 December 2009 (EST)

Found a smaller version of the Draco map, and inserted it into the article. I'll let you do the rest :) Karajou 15:33, 2 December 2009 (EST)

Additional templates

The Night Sky template probably will not work for Draco, nor will it work for other constellations or stars. I'll work on adding both later on today. Karajou 15:41, 2 December 2009 (EST)

Yeah, although I am able to fill in some information, a more specialized template would be needed for constellations, given their special nature. Perhaps categories such as "abbreviation", "brightest star", "nearest star" and "main stars", that last one would be for the numerable amount of main stars. Main stars are those that actually are used in the outline of the constellation itself. --BMcP 15:45, 2 December 2009 (EST)
One is done, and placed within the Draco article; double-check for accuracy, and any suggestions that could be made within the templates. Karajou 16:01, 2 December 2009 (EST)
The only thing I can think of off hand to add to the template is brightest star, otherwise it looks good. Also when done, if you can link me to the empty template, that would be cool. --BMcP 16:09, 2 December 2009 (EST)
