| 172 | 16h01 | G34.3 | Track | 165.46 | 53.34 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 3.48 | We start a new session (Juan, Florian, operator: Quique). We decide to start by some dark tests | 
| 173 | 16h08 | G34.3 | Pointing b | 166.14 | 53.38 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 2.98 | First a pointing --> The processing went well | 
| 174 | 16h12 | G34.3 | Beammap | 174.73 | 54.11 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 1.81 | We now do a beammap in azimuth in this dark test as we have not done such study in the previous sessions | 
| 175 | 16h36 | G34.3 | Beammap | 181.09 | 54.27 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 0.73 | Beammap in elevation. WARNING: the cryostat temperature increased to 215 mK so we lost the pixels. | 
| 176 | 17h56 | G34.3 | Pointing b | 210.51 | 49.97 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 0.70 | Martino managed to recover the nominal temperature so we launch a pointing to see the timeline behavior on trace |
