| 203 | 17h35 | Neptune | pointing b | 129.56 | 29.16 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 0.3 | First a pointing --> set pointing 1.4 -16.9 (really weird profiles, the reference pixels seems too far away from the center...) | 
| 204 | 17h40 | Neptune | pointing b | 129.56 | 29.16 | 1.4 -16.9 0 0 0 | 0.3 | Check the pointing --> set pointing -1.4 -16.8 |
