Quick description of the session: Beammaps then secondary calibrator
We regulate at 205 mK and we are at 30% on the pump to be on the safe side. We solve the issue with the noise on the 2 mm array which was due to a misbehavior of the synthesizer: Martino told us to restart it and now the noise looks very good. Juan Penalver has provided a new pointing model.
Observers: Juan + Florian -- Operator: Quique

We start a new session (Juan, Florian, operator: Quique). We decide to start by going on Mars for a large map on the sky to get enough flux to sample the far side lobes |
