- [ ] Make ` missions.get_column_list()` return an astropy Table.
- [ ] Add warning when max number of results are returned (as in `mast.catalogues`)

Fix capitalization and spelling
Make sure all links to functions work
Make quotes around arguments etc consistent with rest of the documentation
Remove redundant text
Add more information about when a user should choose this service
Remove reference to `set_service` and `set_mission` functions (they don't exist anymore)
Make clear what happens when invalid kwargs are passed (that they are just ignored)
- [ ] Add language in the docstring of `services._json_to_table` explaining the possible values of `col_type` and which service(s) they might come from.
- [ ] Explore the `ignore_value` handling in `services._json_to_table`
- [ ] Consider the way the fall through from using idx to col works in `services._json_to_table` (line 80 in services.py)
- [ ] Point user to `missions.get_column_list` function in missions query doc strings
