Per #72 : In order to be able to astropy.coordinates to predict coordinates of objects at any date, we need epoch and equinox of the coordinate in the sources table.

We probably want to store equinox as a string (eg, J2000), but for epoch, do we want to store it as floats (2015.0), strings ('2015-01-01'), or datetime.Date(or DateTime) objects?
Strings are probably easiest, but Date might allow for more powerful searches- if that were a use case.
For proper motion calculations, this would have to be converted to astropy.time.Time objects regardless.
