Description
It is possible to download image cutouts from IRSA/IBE, but the interfaces are not yet something I understand well, and we don't have a functional implementation in astroquery.
This is an example that we might be able to spin into a successful implementation:

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked analysis/spitzer_plots.py example, especially lines 29–63, and investigate the IRSA/IBE interfaces it uses. The issue does not name astroquery files or tests; done means providing a functional astroquery implementation for downloading image cutouts.
