Instead of using FITS tables, store non-HST filter curves as coefficients that describe the math of reproducing the curves. Perhaps astropy.modeling can be used. Example curves are Johnson UBVRI, etc.

However, this does not replace the old FITS files; Just in addition to.

Pros: Save storage space.

Cons: Loss in accuracy.
