[[D2DLogNika5 |Back to list of day to day logbook of observations]]

== 2012-11-14 ==
  WARNING : RAW DATA FORMAT WAS NOT CONSISTENT WITH EXPECTATIONS --- DATA REDUCTION BY SPECIALIST ONLY 
 .Cryostat Temperature: 200mK +/- 0.02mK (regulated with power 105uW). Better for 2mm array (optimal at 300mK).
 .Arrays status tonight: 126 pixels 2mm - good noise; XX pixels 1mm VERY NOISY (not even worth it !!) 

Nasmyth offsets : 0, 0

Set pointing : 0, 0

Set Focus : -2.40 mm

 .Quick description of the session: Test the Pako sequences and data flows.
