Daily Reports
Bilal Ladjelate, Thomas Rose, Laurence Perotto, Stavroula Katsioli, Marco De Petris, Carsten Kramer arrive at the telescope for the 3rd NIKA2 week of the summer semester.
Oct 29th, Tuesday
16:00UT Thomas & Bilal start. Bilal gives a training session to the first-time users. One issue was noticed by AS/BL: tracking glitches in Azimuth by up to +/-6". These persist throughout. Glitches are a bit reduced in height when scanning slower.
21:00UT Lawrence & Stavroula take over night shift. No issues: NIKA2, IMBfits, piic all working well. Variable weather between 0.4 and >0.8.

05:00UT Marco & Carsten take over the morning shift. tau~0.4 (225GHz) mostly and rather stable. 091-19 continued. Pointing on nearby 0716+714. Focus on 0316+413.
around 8:00UT tau_225GHZ decreased down to 0.3. Still on the Project 091-19.
at 9:00UT Robert highligthed a problem on AZ movements during the tracking. An oscillation with an amplitude around 6 arcsec is present, not negligible for a 11" beam. A possible reason could be the high velocity in the scans, currently 60"/s, as expected for 40<EL<60 deg. We reduce the velocity to 40"/s.
