read in MovingSource.m fails when the AstCrop is empty

[saraylet]

Using the input file: LAST.01.03.04_20230615.174941.304_clear_195+36_001_001_001_sci_merged_Asteroids_1.mat

Running the lines of code:

Fullfile = '/Data1/LASTdata/LASTeroids/LAST.01.03/LAST.01.03.04/LAST.01.03.04_20230615.174941.304_clear_195+36_001_001_001_sci_merged_Asteroids_1.mat';
[PathCount,FileCount,ExtCount] = fileparts(Fullfile); 
MP = MovingSource.read(append(FileCount,ExtCount), 'Path', PathCount, 'PopKA', true);

Results in the following error:

Error using MovingSource.read (line 467)
Unknown content format in file /Data1/LASTdata/LASTeroids/LAST.01.03/LAST.01.03.04/LAST.01.03.04_20230615.174941.304_clear_195+36_001_001_001_sci_merged_Asteroids_1.mat

467                         error('Unknown content format in file %s', FileName);

This error occurs in the file MovingSource.m in the read function (between lines 431 and 469) and is likely due to the fact that the variable Tmp is NOT empty but contains ONLY one EMPTY AstCrop.

      if isempty(Tmp)
          % skip
      else

          if any(strcmp(fieldnames(Tmp), 'AstCrop'))
              Tmp = Tmp.AstCrop;
          end

          if isa(Tmp, 'MovingSource')

          ...

          else
              error('Unknown content format in file %s', FileName);
          end
      end

just put the read command inside a try catch block

When I call it in my own code, I now have it in a try-catch.
