Tutorial, with plots: overlaying IAU names on real image footprints, in one coordinate frame.
Coordinates get looked up, not remembered — the value usually quoted for Jezero sits ~17 km east of the gazetteer's.

everytime i see these detectors I want to shout out some science curse that would expel me from the library... :)

maybe it's going toward the other extrem, but i once set up a rule to always show with data instead of recalling from memory. Now when i just asked: "is gdalinfo reporting rows/cols or cols/rows"?, instead of coming up with an answer from memory, it tested it with a small gdal_create CLI run. :)

You can add that as a coding rule to Claude, even down to your preferred libraries. Like “always check astropy first before creating your own utlilities”.
