Research direction

Reproduce the commands in the linked Coordinate Transformations lesson, starting with the GD1Koposov10 example. Inspect the warning locations identified as gala.coordinates.sgr, gala.coordinates.orphan, and gala.coordinates.magellanic_stream to determine the affected dependency or lesson setup. Done means the example runs without the AstropyDeprecationWarning.
