Ignore the test for now, I'll write a new one as a regression test...

by tel_id or EarthLocation sounds like EarthLocation could be the key of the dictionary, not another format for the value.

True, better with something like

dict of telescope positions by tel_id, given as x,y,z position or EarthLocation.

We shouldn't use mixed types for internal storage. We should accept EarthLocation or GroundFrame coordinates for the inputs, but then convert in __init__ to one common format.

I think for now, that should be the previous, so ground frame coordinas.

pos_x = [p[0].to_value(u.m) for p in self.positions.values()]
pos_y = [p[1].to_value(u.m) for p in self.positions.values()]
pos_z = [p[2].to_value(u.m) for p in self.positions.values()]
positions = self.positions.values()

See above, internal representation should not be mixed.
