Description

https://casaguides.nrao.edu/index.php/Coordinate_Frames .
This link contains CASA coordinate frames . We need to map them into astropy's coordinate frames.
Apart from 'j2000', 'icrs', 'galactic', 'supergal', 'ecliptic', 'b1950', I am not able to identify others.

Research direction

Start with the CASA coordinate-frame guide linked in the issue and compare its frame names with Astropy's coordinate-frame documentation. Determine the equivalent or unsupported Astropy frame for each CASA frame, including the listed common frames. Done means the mapping is complete and any uncertain or unmapped frames are explicitly identified.
