IM4 Successfully de-biased -- Final In-Air Alignment Values
M. Heintze, K. Izumi, J. Kissel

Ah what wonders a break can bring. Kiwamu did some trending during the break to discover I was reading the OSEM Witness Sensors incorrectly. We had way over-shot where we needed to be in pitch, which we believe to be the source of the yaw misalignment. After a few more turns of the pitch adjuster back towards where we needed to be, we regained a spot on the REFL WFSs, and were able to restore the IM4 mechanical alignment to the former, close-to-saturation digital alignment. See attached screenshots of REFL WFS screens, for a before and after. 

IM4 baffle has been restored, and tools removed from the table. As an act of caution, we'll keep the bypass path in until tomorrow lest we need it again for some terrible, terrible reason.

Final alignment values for all suspensions are also attached.

P.S. Next time we bypass the IMC, let's use optic mounts which are less sensitive to fairy kisses.

Yes we should use mounts whose actuators can be locked if this needs to be done in the future
