Alignment recovery

We've been stably locked with a recycling gain of 38 at 23.3 Watts for almost 2 hours (I intentionally broke the lock).   There were some of the slow (20 second) oscillations that cause some of our locklosses durring ER7.  

When I first came in I had some trouble with locklosses durring ENGAGE_ASC.  One problem was just a typo, the other one seems to be when the gain is increased for the SRC2 loop.  I think this caused the increase in POP90 we were seeing last night, which went away.  This morning it kept increasing until the lockl dropped. I moved the transmon QPD offsets back to the pre-vent offsets, powered up to 18 Watts, turned off the ITM loops and adjusted the ITMY alingments slightly to get a decent recycling gain.    The green alignment in the arm was OK here, and the camera positions not off by more than 4 counts so I did not update the references. 

The offsets where we are stable with recycling gain of 38 and 23.3 Watts are:
