Describe NK2013_Jun12 here. NIKA November 2012 S2 [[D2DLogNika6 |Back to list of day to day logbook of observations]] == 2013-06-12 == .Cryostat Temperature: 216mK (naturally set by settings of 3He circulation [no heater] trying to mitigate oscillation due to leak). .Arrays status tonight: pixels 2mm - xxx noise; XX pixels 1mm xxx noise (to be determined) Modulation frequency: 8kHz 1mm, 4kHz 2mm Opacity is measured with the new taumeter at 225 GHz For start Nasmyth offsets : 28, 28 Set pointing : 0, 0 Set Focus : -2.40 mm .Quick description of the session: * Mars Pointing, focus, otfgeom. * 4 sources at different elevation to check the nasmyth corrections. If ok, correct pointing model * Mars, pointing focus, otfgeom * Pointing session for 3h * Mars OTFgeom at 3 foci, 5 lissajous focus, 6 lateral positions * Secondary calibrators: pointing, otf_3x3, faintsourceLissajous * skydip * faint sources to finish for noise measurements ||'''Scan'''||'''UT'''||'''Source'''||'''Command ''' ||'''Az'''||'''El'''||'''Pointing X, Y, Focus'''||'''Tau225'''|| '''Comment''' || || 110 || 9h14 || Mars || Track || 111 || 61 || 0, 0, -2.4 ||0.824 || nasxy=28,28 || || 111 || 9h25 || Mars || cross || 114 || 61 || 0, 0, -2.4 || || nasxy=28,28 || || 112 || 9h28 || Mars || cross || 115 || 62 || -6, -2, -2.4 || || nasxy=28,28 || || 113 || 9h36 || Mars || focus Totpow || 117 || 63 || -2, -3, -2.4 || 0.856 || quite close to the Sun nasxy=28,28 || || 114 || 9h45 || Mars || focus Totpow || 120 || 65 || -2, -3, -2.4 || 0.863 || nasxy=28,28 || || 115 || 9h50 || Mars || otf geom || 126 || 67 || -2, -3, -2.4 || 0.863 || nasxy=28,28 (focus could be -1.7 tbc || || 116 || 10h02 || 3C111 || cross || 80 || 78 || -2, -3, -2.4 || || nasxy=28,28 (off found -4, -3 ok) || || 117 || 10h12 || 3C454.3 || cross || 269 || 27 || -2, -3, -2.4 || || nasxy=28,28 resonances lost (fxd's fault) should do track first do not use || || 118 || 10h30|| 3C454.3 || cross || 269 || 27 || -2, -3, -2.4 || || nasxy=28,28 difficult to point || || 119 || 10h38|| Mars || track ||151 || 73|| 0, 0, -2.4 || 0.879 || FROM NOW ON: nasxy=0,0 Second Pointing model (nas corrections included 28,28) || || 120 || 10h51|| Mars || cross||151 || 73|| 0, 0, -2.4 || 0.891 || Found at 2mm: -3 -3 || || 121 || 10h54|| Mars || cross||162 || 74|| -3, -3, -2.4 || 0.891 || Found at 2mm: 0 -4 Some 2mm pixels (20) were missing in all previous scans|| || 122 || 11h04|| Mars || cross ||169 || 74|| -3, -3, -2.4 || || -3 -3 are correct || || 123 || 11h09|| Mars || focus ||169 || 74|| -3, -3, -2.4 || || focus is not clear: try -1.4 and larger range +-2mm|| || 124 || 11h18|| Mars || focusp2 ||169 || 74|| -3, -3, -1.4 || || focus at -1 seems ok || || 125 || 11h18|| Mars || focusp ||169 || 74|| -3, -3, -1. || 0.9 || focus at -1 again (but difficult) || || 126 || 11h29|| Mars || cross ||190 || 74|| -3, -3, -1. || 0.98 || gives -4, -1 || || 127 || 11h31|| Mars || cross ||190 || 74|| -3, -3, -1. || || gives -6, 0 || || 128 || 11h36|| Mars || cross ||190 || 74|| -5, -1, -1. || || gives -5, 0 || || 129 || 11h44|| 0420-014 || track || 192 || 50|| -5, -1, -1. || || || || 130 || 11h46|| 0420-014 || cross || 192 || 51|| -5, -1, -1. || || gives -7, ? || || 131 || 11h50|| 0420-014 || cross || 192 || 51|| -5, -1, -1. || || gives ? too noisy (bad sky)|| || 132 || 11h52|| 0420-014 || cross || 192 || 51|| -5, -1, -1. || || gives too noisy || || 133 || 11h55|| 3C111 || track || 279 || 80 || -5, -1, -1. || || || || 134 || 12h00|| 3C111 || cross || 279 || 79 || -5, -1, -1. || 0.906 || too noisy.
