Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the plot pixels function in the lsdb source code. Trace how the FOV parameter is passed to matplotlib axes and verify the axis limits. Check if there is a mismatch between the specified FOV and the actual display, possibly due to coordinate transformations or padding.
