Description
observatorypos.pdf describes the various formats ADES allows user to provide observatory positions in. https://github.com/Smithsonian/layup/pull/281 provides support for "ICRF_AU" and "ICRF_KM" while assuming that "ctr" is always 399.
This issue is for tracking the remaining coordinate frames as needed (WGS84, ITRF, IAU)

Research direction
Read observatorypos.pdf and PR #281 first to understand the supported ADES coordinate formats and the existing ICRF_AU and ICRF_KM assumptions. Determine which WGS84, ITRF, and IAU frames are required, then verify that the selected formats are accepted consistently with the documented ADES definitions.
