Description

We'd like to have a list of objects within a constellation boundary. Is this something we can achieve with a simple query?

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, service, or test. Start by identifying the astroquery service and existing query interfaces for object lists, then check whether constellation boundaries are supported; done should be a clearly defined supported query or documented limitation with tests or usage guidance.
