Back to list of day to day logbook of observations

2014-01-23

We use both the manual log below and the tapas database that automatically fills scans table with the scan informations.
So please login with the t21 acount and its usual password (durc***9) to the TAPAS database.
Yesterday's scan are all in TAPAS (inserted by hand), but the auto fill problem is still there, so in real time we only see the Lissajous. So we keep a manual log below, but in a simplified table with the comments and only the most useful scan info.

Programm for today:

Focus and Beam maps (standard + Lissajou). Centered on the refence detector: #494 of the 2mm array (#5 of the 1mm array is very close to it).
Pointing session
Skydip
Mount polariser, take OTF and Skydip with it (Andrea has left, last day of Nicols, so necessary to test polar scripts today).

Remark for NIKA staff: Good data are on RAW_X9

Remark for Robert: we have a little bug with the IMBFITS production; those which are not there for now are indicated in the comments, and we will remove these comments when imbfits are produced
