A new sweep was performed.

Morning shift. We can start the observations, the opacity is excellent and the weather is much better, but we can't start science because we lack a beammap to reduce data. NP, AB and BL perform observation of Venus with NP reducing the beammaps successfully. Grenoble is warned about the presence of the beammaps, but PIIC won't be ready before Monday.
We let the weather slowly stabilize until we can finally start observations after the sunset. Opacity throughout the evening: ~0.2
LPSZ starts science for this pool (ACT-CL-J0223)! ...

...followed by IMEGIN over the night shift (NGC628, NGC925) and 037-20.
Morning shift observes project 074-20 and 077-20.
Source of 077-20 is 5 degrees from the sun and while it did not hurt the science observations for a while, it ended up dramatically changing the beam parameters for the worse. So we let the antenna relax in front of M16 (029-20)
