== Pointing ==

A full pointing session was executed on the two weeks ago giving good results. The pointings look stable and around zero now, so we won't redo a pointing session.

== Beammaps ==

Beammap sequences, which are focus + pointing + beammap, are to be done at least once a day, spanning various elevation, at the best average focus (z central - 0.2 mm).
* For the 18-25 September 2018 test run, which is the real NIKA2 run 21, there is no specific Calibration wiki page; but be aware that all information of both the run 20 (Sep 5-6) and 21 (Sep 18-25) are gathered in the wiki pages that contain the name Nika2Run20.

''Beammap analysis status''

The table below gathers the beammap scan ID, comments related either to the observing condition or to the reduced beammap quality and the analysis status


Status "done" means the analysis is completed, namely the kidpar file is produced using a 2-step iteration analysis, and uploaded in SVN.

== Opacity ==

A skydip scan per 8-hour observation shift, in all possible weather conditions, is needed

== Calibrators ==

 * Monitor primary and secondary calibrators. Few of them but repeatedly along the run and at various elevation
 * Observe in priority MWC349: use the loop script comprising 4 OTF scans, 3 times a day
 * Observe also Uranus, Mars & Neptune + NGC7027 (and optionally CRL2688)

Attention ! fix of a confusion in the numbering of the NIKA2 runs !

* If you whish to reach the 2-8 October 2018 Pool data page, this is actually the NIKA2 run 22 (not the 21); you need to click on this link: Calibration : Calibration Observation Plan & Summary

* For the 18-25 September 2018 test run, which is the real NIKA2 run 21, there is no specific Calibration wiki page; but be aware that all information of both the run 20 (Sep 5-6) and 21 (Sep 18-25) are gathered in the wiki pages that contain the name Nika2Run20.
