shrinking box size towards the celestial poles? #1088

Description

@shiaki

% (ra - dr, ra + dr, dec - dr, dec + dr))

I think using "(ra - dr / cos_dec, ra + dr / cos_dec, ..." is better. Otherwise the actual box size will shrink towards the celestial poles. Also, adding boundary detection near RA~0/360 might be helpful.

I've been using astroquery for a while, which helped a lot in my research. Thanks anyway!
