22/23 Dec 07 WEATHER SUCKS Observing: BSM, PK Prior to the run Scott Ransom kept us below 10 degrees for several hours. It's 2am and we're still recovering-- just started a risky He3 condensation (we probably have very little liquid He4). In the meantime try out subreflector motion tests with Ka. These look *very* promising. -SBs named ccbPeak have the srdaisies -SBs named rasterscan have the 8'x8' mustang scan pattern spaced by 24" 2:30am -- finally get cold (expect a very short He3 hold -- have no He4) Cryo is bad. Running at 330mK no He4. vnc is hanging on us. every time you do something in IRC. It seems to be vnc though b/c the desktop context switching is hanging at that point too, we kinda think. Biases are lousy because we cant get VNC workin, no IVs or firmware ramp Atmosphere and instrument drifts are bad 2007_12_23_03:02:58.fits: Cal taken manually scans 41,40 random scans to sync everything up slew to mars 42,43,44,45:focus daisies best is -7mm 46:Brians' crazy subreflector daisy on mars Pointing change 47:Subreflector Daisy with pointing offset 48,49,50,:Mars oof map We lost lock in those Relocked 51: 8'x 8' raster on mars 52: another big raster 53: slow subreflector daisy dt=.1 not .25, scan length 220 not 110 54: slow subreflector daisy dt=.25 not .25, scan length 220 not 110 Wind is 15mph !!!
