'ChebyshevPosition' object has no attribute 'target_name'

[JoshPaterson]

When I try to create a vector from the sun to the earth like this:

earth = ephem['earth']
sun = ephem['sun']
vector = earth - sun

I get this error:

AttributeError: 'ChebyshevPosition' object has no attribute 'target_name'

I believe this error occurs for any body whose vector is a ChebyshevPosition object, such as the earth barycenter, or the sun. This issue means that geometric positions involving these objects cannot be generated.

Could we see the entire code? Have you loaded an ephemeris?

The full script to reproduce this error is:

from skyfield.api import load

ephem = load('de430t.bsp')

earth = ephem['earth']
sun = ephem['sun']

vector = earth - sun

Also, I am using the latest version.

Thanks for letting me know!
