Lambert azimuthal equal area projection centered at lat_0 = -90

Given that we are designing with LSST in mind, I think that it would probably make sense for the default of LaeaSkyproj to be centered at lat_0 = -90.

It seems that skyproj has trouble rendering this

smap = skyproj.LaeaSkyproj(lat_0=-90)
