Back to list of day to day logbook of observations

2012-11-20

Cryostat Temperature: 150 +/- 0.02 mK (regulated with power 50uW)
Arrays status tonight: (126 pixels 2mm, 90 pixels 1.25mm):

Plan for tonight (126 pixels 2mm, 90 pixels 1.25mm)

Pointing model was corrected by Juan Penalver for an offset that was understood (see yesterday)

We choose pixel numdet = 8 (1mm) and 414 (2mm) (numdet+1, numdet+1-400 for RZ) Nasmyth offsets : +6 -6 Set pointing : 0, 0 Set Focus : -1.78 mm offset correction are the absolution correction to be implemented in set pointing
