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.
