Stefano, Federico, Giovanni, Lea and Stergios at the telescope since ~10:30 (hereafter, local time), Quang in remote.
16:00-22:00; Stergios: maintenance finished around 16:00. We started with EMIR test observations with Ignacio testing the lateral focus at Uranus. The observations cannot be performed, thus we cancel the plan to perform lateral focus with NIKA2 around midnight. At 17:12 we switch to NIKA and performed the DAQ with final values of bad pixels of 16/1/49 for the Ar1,2 and 3, respectively. KIDS are tuned properly, imbfits are created with the delay we observed the past weeks. We continued with calibration observations and moved to project 117-23 (orion) performing the 5th and 6th map repetitions. After sunset we moved to Uranus again for pointing, focus, calib_1scan, beam map and skydip (check the screenshot below for a weird skydip result from PIIC). Beam map was performed at ~40 deg of elevation, not optimal but we agreed to take more maps during the night. We performed another DAQ at 21:20 with 16/1/37 bad pixels for the Ar1,2 and 3, respectively. We continued with the project 138-23 that requires 3 hours to finalize. Another DAQ performed shortly after due to weird KID behavior (new bad pixels count: 31/3/38). At 21:42 we started the observations of NGC4214. Stefano and Lea take over.
22:00-06:00; Stefano/Lea:
[Why can lateral focus observations not be performed ? <CK>] [SB: if I understood correctly, the subreflector did not move in XY earlier today, when trying with EMIR]. [This had worked in January when commissioning EMIR. <CK>]
We take over at 21 UT as planned, and we continue observing project 138-23.
At 21:50 UT, we test the custom make-imbf, designed to run several instances of make-imbf in parallel. Bilal has kindly pointed SB to these scripts. We have edited them to adapt them to cryo run 78, but it's not been enough: it does not seem to start properly. Probably more editing might be needed. Therefore we switch back to the standard make-imbf, to avoid wasting time. Total amount of time lost: 10 minutes. Later we note that we might have been too impatient and maybe the custom make-imbf actually really started its job, but SB decided to kill it too early. We might try again later during calibrations, so to avoid wasting science time.
During the whole night, we observe:
- 8 repetitions of NGC4214 for project 138-23 (2h in total)
2 repetitions of A2623 for project 153-23 (>~1h in total)
- beam-map on 1226+023 (scan 20240313s26), option "a". Followed by a skydip.
4 repetitions of NGC4214 for project 138-23 (1h in total) -> target completed! (total 13.2h)
