Back to list of day to day logbook of observations
2014-10-08
Opacity is measured with the new taumeter at 225 GHz
Nasmyth offsets : 21.2, 36.75
Set pointing : 0, 0
Set Focus : -1.8 mm
- Quick description of the session: measure polarization of quasars at various elevations and planets to test our system and calibrate
