Tips for Pool Observers

Source name:

Be cautious with the source name: don' t put short name (3 letters or less), they could be confused with the local catalogue if the catalogue is not specified. Don't put large name with special characters (*,',etc), it may have confusion during the observations.

Observer directories:

The various directories of the observers in the flexible account have been moved to the visitor directory to get a cleaner organisation of the account. Nothing has been deleted ! Currently the observers should not use the flexible account, reserved for the database. Ask for the hello passwd to work in that account.

Bolometer pointing:

If you use a small throw you may fit the negative part (off-position) along the az,ele axis. Check the map of the mopsic monitor to be sure of the source position.

MOPSIC monitor stop:

$/!\$ If a bad fits file is produced (which happens from time to time) the MOPSIC monitor will stop. Don' t forget to restart it. Just type in MopsicL

Pointing problems:

Ask the AoD or the Operator to check the firstPhase of Abba. Currently it is set to Off.

MIRA crashing:

Be sure that the backend Part. number is correct (1mhz 1 2, 4mhz 1 2, vespa 1 2 3 ...). If it is not set correctly MIRA will crash for the reduction.

Use the old version of xephem ''~flexible/xephem-3.5.1/GUI/xephem/xephem''.
