Andrew, Isabella, Jack, Laurent, Stefano, Matthieu and Bilal arrived at the telescope. After a quick tutorial and a rough start, we manage to check pointing and focus on 2251+158. While it's bad, it's improving a lot with the night coming, and the weather is very promising. We continue with a night of calibration measures, with beammaps on Uranus, Neptune, skydips and maps on the secondary calibrators, before we start with science projects. [Andrew, Isabella and Jack took the shift Tuesday 10pm to Wednesday 6am.] We started the shift with beam maps on Uranus and Neptune, followed by the @otf_loop_8_5 on each, before moving to NGC7027, CRL2688 and MWC349 for the otf loops. After this, tau conditions appeared to be somewhat stable at tau~0.3, so we began science observations with the SZ LP 199-16, obtaining the 4 repetitions requested in the readme on PSZ2-G111.6. Up to this point, there had been some spikes in the tau, which was steadily trending upwards past 0.35. Next, after remaking the pointing and focus, we changed to project 094-18, and tried to make some maps of XLSSC102. The weather was becoming unstable, and trending about of 0.4, and we cancelled the observing script after 3/6 scans. == October 3, (Wednesday) == [Andrew, Isabella and Jack took the shift Wednesday 10pm to Thursday 6am.] |
