Describe the bug
Firstly #864 needs to be fixed.

Then, there is a problem that vista images are too large, which can be fixed by tweaking the swarp config here:

#------------------------------ Memory management -----------------------------

Tweaking this allows image subtraction to take place. However, even after that, the subtraction itself fails spectacularly. in some cases.

This is leading to a bunch of spurious detections.

I propose to do three things:

  • fix the swarp config
  • fix the astroquery issue upstream via PR
  • completely disable subtractions with VISTA until we are confident that it is doing the right thing most of the time.
