NIKA October 17th, 2015 / S8

Back to list of day to day logbook of observations

2015-10-17

Following not updated

The sky is populated with thick dark clouds, but there is a forecast of a clear patch from 9:30 to noon.

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.

Scan	UT	Source	Command	Az	El	Pointing X, Y, Focus	Tau225	Comment
92	07h14	Mars	Track point	124	47	0,0,0.	0.72	Another day of NIKA2 awesomeness begins.
93	07h19	Mars	Pointcross	125	47	0,0,0.	0.72	Problems with the pointing. MC investigates.
94	07h31	Mars	Pointcross	126	48	0,0,0.	0.71	Clouds receding. Scan successful. Taumeter pointing South, not very informative at the moment.
