Jan 14th, Tuesday

16:00-22:00: Stergios: Starting with POL mode and DAQ at ~15:00 UTC with 11/5/40 bad pixels. Starting with pointing/focus on NGC7027 but the tracking command does not behave correctly (the telescope doesn't move on target's direction). Scans 92, 93 (pointing command) appear on tapas but there are no imbfits files generated apart from the antenna files. AS and the computer group were contacted. We have lost x hours due to this technical issue. Excellent weather conditions (tau~0.1 and wind speed at ~3m/s).

Many spindle errors, basically impossible to observe (see for example s97 or s102; check tapas for more details). One stacked scan (s108).

Continuing with the calib_1scan of NGC7027, MWC349 and CRL2688.

Around 16:00 UTC we stopped for 15min due to high wind (see tracking errors below).

height=150

height=50

18:36 UTC: wind still high (gusts of ~10-12m/s), switching to Uranus and hoepfully to the project 128-24.
