In astroquery>=0.4.8 an issue where the column names received from this module did
not correspond to the columns of the online catalogs was solved.
Namely, columns with special characters like ``r'mag`` were renamed into ``r_mag``
and columns starting with a number like ``2MASS`` were prepended with an underscore
``_2MASS``.
