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?)
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 (p60)y on a nearby secondary source (pointing depends on the position of the sky)
When starting a new project, check if you have set the project in the scripts. if not, please do it.
