!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEATHER CONDITIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the proposal we asked for pmw < 7 mm.

   => tau_225GHz = 0.0405 * pmw + 0.0105 ~ 0.3

Therefore, this project is meant to be observed only when tau is < 0.3.
However, in conditions of good stability, values up to tau ~0.5 are acceptable.
In case of doubt ask the AoD.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBSERVATIONS BOOKKEEPING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We prepared a script to observe our target (see ~/199-14/observe_NGC4449.pako)
consisting of 3 rounds of on-the-fly maps.
The scanning direction adopts 4 different values (0, 45, 90, and 135 deg)
to avoid artifacts (e.g., stripes).
The execution of the script will take ~2 hours
(3 rounds x 4 angles x 8 min + overheads due to pointing and focus),
so "observe_NGC4449" should be executed 5 times to reach the allocated time.
If you observe this project, please keep the number of iterations updated.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! INSTRUCTIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See our wiki and/or ask the AoD if you have questions:

-> http://www.iram.es/IRAMES/mainWiki/NIKA/Main

Load the setup script in PaKo:

   PAKO> @ ~/199-14/setup_199-14

Do a pointing on a nearby pointing source:

   PAKO> source 1144+402 /cat *
   PAKO> @ cont_pointing

Introduce the pointing corrections in PaKo:
   
   PAKO> set pointing xx yy

Check the value of the FWHM. Before to start the observations the telescope
must be well focused. In case of doubt see the wiki and/or ask the AoD.

Load the observing script:

   PAKO> @ ~/199-14/observe_NGC4449

This is a long script, so once it is done, repeat the pointing and check
again if the telescope needs to be focused.

Thank you very much!
