[[Nika2Run67|Back to the NIKA2 Run 67 main page]] <<BR>>

=== Goal: Carry out verification and performance tests of the 30 m telescope using NIKA2, after recoating of M1 ===

'''Essential issues to be tested:'''

 * Check the feasibility and correctness of NIKA2 observations in a first approach after the last stop

 * Test day/night behaviour of the beams

 * Photometry and RMS check using flux calibrators for estimating improvements

'''Observations required:'''

 * Standard day/night point & focus sequences

 * A good statistics of calibration scans on selected planets and secondary flux calibrators (see visibility plot)

 * NIKA2 beam maps (stable conditions, ~30 min each); possible targets to be used: 2251+158, Uranus, 0316+413

 * A new lateral focus session would be necessary (stable conditions, telescope relaxed; it takes about 3h)
