DOC: Skycoord example creates big files

See original GitHub issue

While looking at the docs build time #7080, I noticed one big file (56Mb) generated by the Skycoord examples:

❯ ls -lh coordinates/skycoord-2* plot_directive/coordinates/skycoord-2.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 simon users 5,2M 24 mai   22:59 coordinates/skycoord-2.pdf

Not sure if this example is really useful ?

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/11407 is to blame, and I do have a fix, let’s hope it doesn’t break something unintended.
