Expand distance from beam centre when running find_fields #439

Closed ddobie closed 1 year ago

ddobie commented 1 year ago

find_fields will only find fields that have a beam centre within query.settings['max_sep'] degrees of the target location. Currently the default is 1 degree, but the mosaics actually extend to approximately 1.4 degrees.

This is not an issue for most fields because of the overlap, but is for the fields around the edge of each block, as well as the LMC/SMC fields.

Thanks to @krose098 for helping discover this bug.
