Quick description of the session: first dark tests then beammaps

Observers: Juan + Florian -- Operator: Quique

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.
