Afternoon Looking Much Better
After much diddling with PR's and SR's while swinging them and watching camera images and dataviewer I finally came to my happy place with the alignments!
-
13:00 FINALLY got DRMI locked. It kept locking on the wrong mode. Trial and error landed me a manual pitch adjustment of PRM. BINGO.

13:08 RESONANCE

13:20 After much cautiousness, Locked at LSC_FF about 56Mpc.
Robert Schofield is here and looking to do some PEM injections. He'll be going into the LVEA. There seems to be a strange disturbance in the Force that we can't explain. (see attached screenshot)
I spoke to Joe Hanson at LLO. At 20:30UTC they were locked on RF and were looking to move forward to DC Readout. I informed him as to our status and the testing that Robert was about to do for the next 1.5 hours or so.
For now.....life is good!
