`save_tica_ffi_catalog` produces empty/null parquet file

[hposborn]

Now that TESScut doesn't support TICA data any more ( :,( ), I dusted off tess-cloud to access these. However, running tica.save_tica_ffi_catalog(96) produces a parquet file but it does not contain the expected image locations.

The following parquet file is produced, which is clearly dominated by "null" column values:

I doubt I will get a reply given the developers arent in academia, but this is a warning for others!
