NIKA October 27, 2015 / S8
Back to list of day to day logbook of observations
2015-10-27
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
 
Results
- Fail to setup 1 mm using
