Because of the pandemic, no observers can come to the telescope. This pool is entirely in remote mode.
A couple of preparatory notes by Stefano:
- please use the PIIC monitors. If you notice that one (or more) of the PIIC monitors stop processing the data, please notify the AoD: it is possible that the scripts that produce the IMBFITS files have stopped.
- please take numerous calibrators scans, also in bad sky conditions (as long as NIKA2 is used): for example take one calib scan whenever the pointing/focus source is a calibrator. This will help the analysis of the calibration. Thank you in advance.
Little extra by Stefano: I would have liked to be at the telescope to celebrate the 50th pool of NIKA2 with a special mid-night pasta, but unfortunately it is still not possible. Therefore I have prepared a little surprise. I hope it can make you smile in these eerie times. Stay Safe!

03h - 09h; Sergio (Op.), Angel: Checking the telescope at 05h (LT). Opacity ~0.8. NIKA2 Pool targets according to these conditions are too low. Switching to EMIR backup project 171-20. Pointing/focus OK. Wobbler required, but it doesn't work after several tries. Switching to NIKA2 at ~7 am. Resonances reloaded. Opacity ~0.65. Pointing/focus on K3-20A. Despite the opacity level, conditions look quite stable. Trying to restart the data-filler of TAPAS; it doesn't work (waiting for Computer Group instructions). NGC7027: calib_1scan (s32). Then, a skydip. Monitoring stability; large spikes of opacity.
09h - 15h; Antonio, Emmanuel, Bilal: stopped ~1h for technical tests of wobbler system. Observed with NIKA2 for project 126-20.
15h - 21h; Angel: Observed 12 fields of 126-20, and started with EMIR backup program 109-20 at 20h (LT); tau~0.7, unstable. Data records still being recovered in TAPAS.
21h - 03h; Annie, Carsten take over to continue with EMIR projects, first 109-20. Tau~0.7. Some clouds. At UT00:00 change to EMIR 097-20 154.05+5.07. Tau drops to 0.5. TAPAS working.
