00:00-03:00; Albrecht, Angel: DAQ started at 00:15; bad KIDs 44/5/46 (ar1/ar2/ar3). Tau(225 GHz) < 0.2 throughout this mini-shift. FWHM 17.2" x 17.9" (2 mm); quite stable atmosphere: p2p variations of ~0.5 Jy/b, same band. @calib_1scan on CRL618 and ALFORI (scans 20220221s275 and s277). Then a @skydip (s278). Switch to project 192-16. Four rounds launched on COSMOS field (the last one running in the next shift).
03:00-09:00; Corentin: Finished the rep on COSMOS. Then I switched to nikaw-21 project and did a pointing & focus and got a beammap on 1253-055. Then a skydip, there was a little increase in opacity (0.2 --> 0.3) but it decreased rapidly to 0.2. I switched to project 199-16, and did 2 reps on PSZ2G081 (32-->34/44) (with a point on 1633+382), then 4 reps on PSZ2G094 (20-->24/24 FINISHED)(with a point + focus on 1641+399). Finally a rep on PSZ2G081 (35/44) and switched to project nikaw-21 in order to do 3 @calib1scan on MWC349, NGC7027, and CRL2688 (20220222s89, s90, and s91). Finishing with a @skydip (s92). Opacity remained stable quite all night (~0.2).
09:00-11:50; Angel: Starting on project 109-21. Two reps. (=4 rounds) on B68. Got @calib_1scan on Mars (s117). Then, 1 rep. on B335. Opacity was below 0.2. Nicely stable atmosphere.
15:40-21:00; Angel: Checking system after maintenance. Computer Mac8 doesn't work after several tries. Retuning; bad KIDs 43/4/47 (ar1/ar2/ar3). Opacity < 0.2. Point & focus on 0316+413, looking for starting with project 122-16 (GASTON). Imbfits creation takes unexpectedly long times. Reported to the IT group. NFS service anomalies, with nika2-a and mrt-lx3 involved, were detected and restored by PM & WR. Consequently, DAQ was restarted; retuning, bad KIDs 31/5/43 (ar1/ar2/ar3). Checking pointing & focus on CRL618. The system is stable again. GASTON targets were too high at that time. Got a @calib_1scan on CRL618 (s152) and ALFORI (s155). Switching to project 143-21; quite stable atmosphere. Target G202 observed: 1 rep. Focus and pointing on Uranus + @calib_1scan (s182) + @skydip (s183).
