NIKA2 run 6 30 October 2016 [[D2DLogNika2Run6|Back to list of day to day logbook of observations]] == 2016-10-30 == '''Quick description of the session: Beammaps for statistics at different foci''' 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 cryostat level (9 mm) and therefore use the old pointing model.
