In the interest of reducing the number of clicks a user needs to do on loading a catalogue and making CARTA a bit smarter for ease of use, it would be good if the RA and DEC columns were automatically loaded if the catalogue contain columns labelled RA and DEC.

I actually thought we had that functionality already 🤔 But yesterday when I was testing it I also noticed that annoyance.

The column names are not standardized. What we can do is to have a list of possibilities for matching.
