Simbad query sometimes returns hourangle for ra, but we are interpreting it as degrees #90

When the star is bright enough, simbad is queried and the RA and DEC are updated with the simbad values.

For some stars, e.g., 51 peg, the result for RA is returned in hour angles, but we assume it is degrees. This leads to a wildly wrong (many km/s) barycenter correction.
