Cutout downloads failing for 2022uhy

[djones1040]

Cutout download status reports as failed for https://blast.scimma.org/transients/2022uhy/. Likely an issue with legacy surveys or GALEX, as the rest of the images are there. Reported by Michael Tucker.

I'm going to move this to a discussion like I did the other similar reports, because this is likely an operational problem or a transient-specific issue, neither of which in general are issues with the code per se. We can easily move back to an issue as evidence warrants.

sorry wasn't obvious from my post but did a small amount of digging, think this is a real bug:

Looks like I was wrong about being able to convert it back to an issue, sorry about that. But it's not a big deal anyway because this discussion is linked to the fix like an issue would be.

I have seen that error many times in the logs. Not sure why I never made an issue to fix it.

this one fixed in #441
