Daily Reports

Nov 15th, Tuesday

16:36-21:00; Stergios: No NIKA2 neither EMIR observations were conducted during due to high tau values (see following plot depicting the corresponding tau values for this time window). We performed a quick system check that started at 16:36 (after maintenance) checking only the tuning since we could not perform a pointing or focus due to the weather conditions. For training purposes of the current observers we initiated the data acquisition for NIKA2.
