PLAN FOR NIGHT 16-17NOV:
Probably average weather but maybe stable conditions. Adapt the following plan on stability of focus.
Do a skydip ! Pointing, focus on nearby quasar then
3C454.3 MWC349
Depending what time the observations start go on 3C454 or MWC349 if it is <80deg
Do a cycle of simple maps

DR21
Go on DR21 for a cycle if Uranus still is <25deg
dr21oh_polar.pako
Uranus
Do cycles alternating: focus with small offsets (steps of +/-0.1mm)
if focus is stable:
otf_simple_8_5_polar_3Hz_40arcsec_per_sec.pako at focus and slightly out of focus (+/-0.1mm & +/-0.2mm)
Repeat
