== Usage ==
Just add:
<pre>{{infobox telescope}}</pre>
to the top of an article, and data will be automatically included from [[Wikidata]] where they are available. These values can be overridden by passing values to the relevant parameters in the article (if need be), e.g.:
<pre style="overflow:auto">
{{infobox telescope
| name = 
}}
</pre>
