NIKA October 16th, 2015 / S8
Back to list of day to day logbook of observations
2015-10-16
Following not updated
Set Focus : we start at 0.0 mm We updated ini.pako. Remember 1mm difference between the focus of NIKA and the focus of the other IRAM instruments due to the design of the optics (SL).
Quick description of the session: focus tests.
