 * Flux calibrations every 2 hours on a bright source shouyld be done, (planet?)
 * Do not forget to change to "gain 2" when observing a planet and change back to "gain 10" when done		  * Flux calibrations every 2 hours on a bright source shouuld be done, (planet?)
 * Do not forget to change to '''gain2''' when observing a planet and change back to '''gain10''' when done
 * Repeat the skydip every 2 hours to measure oppacity (bt)
 * Before observing a scientific source, do a pointing calibration on a nearby secondary source (pointing depends on the position of the sky)

  • Good weather means tau<0.5

  • With tau between 0.4-0.5 we should observe low priority bolometer projects.

  • Low sky noise means <80

  • Medium skynoise means 80-160

  • High skynoise >160

  • Try observing in elevations between 30-75deg
  • Flux calibrations every 2 hours on a bright source shouuld be done, (planet?)
