We do use skyfield, and this has to fetch a deltat.data file.
This file needs once fetched or copied to MSS_CONFIG_PATH
Please try if you can access it by your browser

It looks like during the download of the file there was a internet connection failure.

Thanks for your suggestions: I tried to connect to your link in my browser and it worked without a problem.
I tried another attempt to open the Remote Sensing control panel after I started MSS as Windows administrator and then it worked. So I think the problem is that I installed Anaconda, and the MSS environment as Windows administrator, so I guess I cannot download the file to the folder the Remote Sensing control needs without administrator privileges.
So my workaround was to create a new environment as “normal” user and now it works. Sorry for reporting this before I tried to fix everything I messed up in my system, but maybe someone else will have the same problem.

this is similiar to #431

yeah, this came up a couple of times. Annoying as hell. If somebody has a more stable way to compute sun/moon/venus positions, I’d have a look at that.
I personally have also intermittent errors, meaning that it crashes now and then works 10s later.

The crash happens likly because of urlopen had for a moment no access.

The download to a path is at line 523.

After trying to open the Remote sensing overlay in the Top View window, I get a “Fatal error” with the following code in the command line:
The problem is not reproducable on another Windows PC with the same pyhton and mss version installed, so it is also likely that I did not configure everything in the proper way - but I don’t know what I could have missed.
