# NOTE by Michael Rugel: SCANTimes flipped in scripts between mapout and mapnew: 80" instead of 120" (and vice versa for scripts in mapnew); 
# Maps seem to be recorded correctly regardless of SCANTime parameter, therefore no need to reobserve.
# Checks with onlineplotter showed no differences (speed at 90'' and all dumps there); 
# SCANTime from script was used for observations today and yesterday (17-18/07/2019), likely also in the past.
# For all OTFs after 3091, the value was adjusted manually
