Daily Reports (2025/11/11-18, NIKA2 run 76, Cryo run 88)
Observers on-site: Maite, Mairi, Victor and Hamza safe at the telescope.
Operators: Pedro (daytime) and Sergio (night). Angel around.
Times below in LT (UT+1h), unless otherwise is specified.
Preparatory notes
Please, remember to use the focus value of Ar1 (roughly Ar2 + 0.65 mm, but use directly the focus Ar1 monitor if possible).
Please fill the Table with the Ar1,2,3 focus values as follows. At best, make one table per day.
