Description
### Description
For the coordinates of the Mauna Kea observatories, I found inconsistencies between sites.json and IRTF reports.
https://irtfweb.ifa.hawaii.edu/observing/telescopeCoordinates.php
At least the IRTF one is consistent with Subaru; https://subarutelescope.org/Observing/Telescope/Parameters/
### Additional context
I need accurate latitude and longitude to calculate precession-corrected parameters.
