IMPORTANT NOTES ON OBSERVING INFO

TAPAS is working properly
Rely on TAPAS for most scan info (time, az, el, opacity)
Here, this wiki will inform in greater detail the PAKO command and quick analysis of scans (e.g. pointing results).

Data Repository: /home/nika2/NIKA/Data/run13_X/scan24_X

Goal of the session:

Push to faint point sources
Re-assess KIDs every couple(?) of hours on a bright source
Observe faint extended objects (NGC1068, Crab Nebula?)
Have a great time

Scan	UT	Source	Command	Az	El	Pointing X, Y, Focus	Tau225	Comment
BREAK	--	--						NO MORNING SESSION DUE TO BAD WEATHER. Charles and Xavier observing starting at 20:45
13	20:45	Uranus	track	128	48	0 0 0	0.7	IDL licenses used up! Juan freed his.
14	20:48	Uranus	nkpoint b	128	48	0 0 0	0.7	Resonances are missing! (Bad scan). Even still, IDL cannot find the file.
15	20:50	Uranus	track	128	48	0 0 0	0.7	Do a track to regain resonances? Some improvement - still not great.
16	20:52	Uranus	nkpoint b	128	48	0 0 0	0.7	Opps. Too early bad scan again. File still not being written.
17	20:45	Uranus	track	128	48	0 0 0	0.7	Same problems: resonances + IDL
18	20:45	Uranus	track	128	48	0 0 0	0.7
19	20:45	Uranus	nkpoint b	128	48	0 0 0	0.7

23	21:38	Uranus	nkpoint b	143	54	0 0 0	0.6
--	22:00	--						IDL resolved (we think); troubleshooting resonances
24	22:10	Uranus	nkpoint b	158	58	0 0 0	0.5	problems solved! (for now) -- Array 2: set pointing 0.7 -4.2
25	22:15	Uranus	nkpoint b	158	58	0.7 -4.2 0	0.5	Let's double check this...Array 2: set pointing -0.2 -2.5 (let's apply these)
26	22:17	Uranus	focustrack z	158	58	-0.2 -2.5 0	0.5	And then do a focustrack...Array 2: set focus 0.30
27	22:25	Uranus	focusliss z	163	58	-0.2 -2.5 0.30	0.5	A quick double check...we don't like this fit
28-32	22:30	Uranus	focuslissold	163	58	-0.2 -2.5 0.30	0.5	Another quick check...
33-35	22:45	Uranus	beammap	165	58	-0.2 -2.5 0.30	0.5	No pointing/focus changed - all looks good - beammap!
36	23:45	--	skydip_DIY	195	*	-0.2 -2.5 0.30	0.5	Weather holding steady...resonances are OK.
37	23:55	DR21OH	track	302	29	-0.2 -2.5 0.30	0.5	Weather holding steady...resonances are OK.
--	24:00	--	--	302	29	-0.2 -2.5 0.30	0.5	New day on UTC. Go to next log.
