Title: 1/1 Eve Shift 0:00-8:00 UTC (16:00-24:00 PST).  All times in UTC.

State of H1: Observing

Shift Summary: Started the shift with the PSL down and being worked on by Jason and Corey (T. Vo was covering OPS duties).  Within the first hour of my shift, they had completed their work and I began initial alignment.  After a surprisingly straightforward alignment and locking, made it to NLN at 2:29 UTC.  Other than some excess noise from 10-30 Hz, range has been the typical ~80 MPc for the past 6 hours.  Environment is calm.

Incoming operator: TJ

Activity log:

In addition to the PMC diff that Betsy took care of here, I accepted a diff for H1:IMC-REFL_SERVO_IN1GAIN (setpoint -2.00, epics -1.00) in order to proceed to Observing.  I (actually T.Vo did, since he was already logged onto another workstation) also switched the omcparams.py starting voltage back to -24, which worked to get past the same problem described by Corey here.  Note: I did NOT commit the change in omcparams.py to the SVN.
