An AstroPy tutorial: Retrieving MAST images and overlaying Gaia/Vizier sources on them
This tutorial utilizes the MAST API to filter and query different parts of the sky and download the related image products. Then, it retrieves World Coordinate System (WCS) information from the downloaded products and provides these as inputs for catalog queries. After this step, Gaia (or any Vizier catalog) is queried according to a rectangle specified to either focus on a part of the image, span the image, or put the image in a wider context of cataloged objects. Finally, both the image and catalog sources will be plotted on the same figure. Check it out from here.
