Apparently the LASCO FITS headers do not have the location of the spacecraft (e.g., `HGLN_OBS`, `HGLT_OBS`). When such information is missing, our software assumes that the observer is at Earth,...

By default, Astropy opens FITS files using memory mapping (or rather, [it tries to](https://github.com/sunpy/sunpy/issues/1745#issuecomment-310935318)). That is, the returned `ndarray` objects have `mmap` objects as their ultimate base of storage, and...

If you provide `GenericMap.submap()` with a coordinate frame with data (i.e., derived from `BaseCoordinateFrame`) rather than an actual `SkyCoord` instance, it errors when it doesn't need to: ```python >>> import...

Based on a discussion on Element and the proof of concept [here](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1NU3ooz8KNt8zURcrQDKr-yyxTzY_j8CH?usp=sharing), it'd be neat to have the option for `GenericMap.reproject_to()` to automatically determine the extent of the reprojected map....
