NIKA October 26, 2015 / S8

[[D2DLogNika2Run1 |Back to list of day to day logbook of observations]]

== 2015-10-26 ==

----
==== 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
