Simbad querying relies on astroquery service being up

Opened this issue · 0 comments

The crossmatching code doesn't handle the case when the astroquery service is down. One solution would be to retry with exponentially increasing wait times and exit after a number of retries. This has only happened once, but I'm creating this issue to keep track of it, since I probably won't fix it in the short term.
