Daily Reports
Because of COVID-19, only IRAM staff is allowed to observe on-site until new notice.

Note by Stefano: It's fantastic to be back. I hope everyone will soon be allowed to come observing in person, because it's a very nice feeling. I promise I'll make this Daily report colorful with some nice photos for you, when possible.

Always using the new sweep from now on.
Currently the adopted pointing model is the one for "summer". The latest EMIR pool showed large [pointing offsets, like the NIKA2 observations of last week, therefore here we've been wondering if it's time to switch to "winter". The issue is under investigation by Manuel (deputy station manager) and soon we'll know more.

We find a small typo in the Ar3 PIIC DAFs that prevents it to process the data but we have no permissions right now to fix it. Therefore we switch off the Ar3 PIIC monitor and ask RZ to fix it for us tomorrow. We also have a small hickup with the processing the focus sequences, but it does not prevent to use the PIIC monitor anyway. We observe the filler program 045-21 with regular pointing and focus. Skydip in scan 20211026s109. With these conditions we don't perform any beammap nor calibrators scans.
