Attempting to load a file for Z Peg using VSX per class instructions.

I am logged into VSX, enter Z Peg on the Search page and hit search.  Takes me to Detail for Z Peg.  Select ASAS Light Curve under External Links and select GO.  Get the following error message:

ASAS-3 database error

Hi Jerry,

This issue is not related to the AAVSO.
As the name suggests, this is an external link, and the ASAS-3 database seems to be having problems these days.
It usually gets fixed eventually, so be patient if you want to use ASAS-3 data.
We can't predict when they will fix it...

Cheers,
Sebastian
