Increase resolution of external sky maps
Currently the resolution for external sky maps can be extremely small, leading to strange artifacts when computing the combined sky map:

We can see this in the case of sky maps with error radii of 5
and 30
respectively:
from astropy import units as u
from astropy_healpix import HEALPix, pixel_resolution_to_nside
error_radius = 5 * u.deg
print(pixel_resolution_to_nside(error_radius, round='up'))
error_radius = 30 * u.deg
print(pixel_resolution_to_nside(error_radius, round='up'))
16
2
This should increased by quite a bit, or we give some minimum acceptable resolution (256
?).
