The recommended (default selection) image for the Rubin Science Platform service is now based on the Weekly 21 build of the Rubin Science Pipelines.

If you are a data.lsst.cloud data preview user you will get this image by default when you next use the service.

Note the following change of behaviour for the `get_tap_service` helper function (as used in, for example in this tutorial notebook [tutorial-notebooks/02\_Catalog\_Queries\_with\_TAP.ipynb at main · rubin-dp0/tutorial-notebooks · GitHub](https://github.com/rubin-dp0/tutorial-notebooks/blob/main/02_Catalog_Queries_with_TAP.ipynb) )

Specifically, `get_tap_service()` is now deprecated in favor of `get_tap_service("tap")` . This is in preparation for future functionality.

This line ran yesterday, but not today:  
coord = SkyCoord(ra=df\_Gaia\_MontWD[‘RA\_ICRS’]\*u.degree, dec=df\_Gaia\_MontWD[‘DE\_ICRS’]\*u.degree, frame=‘icrs’) worked before the image change.

This works for me now:  
coord = SkyCoord(ra=df\_Gaia\_MontWD[‘RA\_ICRS’], dec=df\_Gaia\_MontWD[‘DE\_ICRS’], unit=‘deg’)

This is due to Pandas 2.0. A `pandas.core.series.Series` multiplied by an `astropy.units.Unit` does not give a `Series` of `Quantity` as it used to with Pandas 1.5.2.

We changed to the equivalent of:

```auto
coord = SkyCoord(ra=df_Gaia_MontWD['RA_ICRS'].values * u.degree, dec=df_Gaia_MontWD['DE_ICRS'].values * u.degree, frame='icrs')

```

but your solution seems fine too.

Thank you for the option, K-T!
