Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by surveying the package's existing coordinate representations and type definitions, then review SkyCoords.jl and its linked issue about unit-aware coordinate input. Done would require an agreed scope for custom types across the package and support for the requested coordinate units.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

help wanted

More custom types should be defined and used throughout the package, in order to make it more Julian.

For example, I'd like to use SkyCoords.jl for sky coordinates, but I'd like it first supports entering coordinates with different units, see https://github.com/kbarbary/SkyCoords.jl/issues/6.
