% (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!
