Ops Report: Finished Initial Alignment

Struggled to get through, but made it. A few things that I had to do:

  1. Input_Align - This would get stuck at the LOCKING_XARM_IR step, so I tried the trick of turning the LSC_XARM_GAIN from 0.05 to 0.15. It worked but when I brought the gain back to 0.05 it was unstable so I quickly changed it to 0.15 and offloaded (hope that's okay).
  2. SRC_ALIGN - I had to move SR2 around by about 10urads in both P and Y to get it to lock and stay locked.

Winds are still 30mph and below, useism still 1um/s.

Just made it up to CARM_5PM before breaking lock, there is still hope!!
