Can’t seem to be able to download data in PixInsight Annotate Script - ends with errors.

Maybe a transient situation? Am I the only one?

It appears that the VizieR servers are not accepting connections from PixInsight.

This is affecting anyone who wants to plate-solve with PixInsight, including many thousands of AstroBin Ultimate subscribers.

We (AstroBin and PixInsight) are in touch with VizieR to solve this as soon as possible.

I will email Ultimate subscribers shortly to notify about this.

I though I was going crazy as putting the same URL that returns HTTP 403 during the AnnotateImage run in the browser seem to produce the valid output 🙄

Looks like the issue is resolved!

Yes indeed, VizieR had blocked PixInsight in a sweep to deal with traffic spikes that were causing problems to their infrastructure. They removed this and I restarted the failed jobs on AstroBin.
