[AstroPy] YASQ - Yet Another SkyCoord Question

[Mohammad Shameoni Niaei]

If the problem persists I would like to advise you to get in touch with
your institute's IT department.

I had a similar problem when I tried to get information from the NASA JPL
Horizons system.
Turned out to be the server's IP address was on a blacklist due to frequent
request.
You might need to check if the port is open or not as well.

My best
