So please login with the t21 acount and its usual password (durc***9). So please login with the t21 acount and its usual password (durc***9) to the [[https://tapas.iram.es/tapas/ | TAPAS]] database.

Programm for today:
 * Check pointing and Nasmyth offset after re-alignment with the laser. Conclusion from yesterday: we don't have a reliable way to optimise the radio alignment, so we will rely only on the laser alignment, which seem very close to optimal according to 1st conclusions from yesterday.
 * Focus and Beam maps (standard + Lissajou).
 * Pointing session
 * Polariser on, and test observations with polariser: beam maps (+pointing and focus of course) first on planet then on a polarised source.

Now we will use the tapas database that automatically fills scans table with the informations we were filling by hand untill now.
