Since I am going to miss the commissioning meeting tomorrow...

The interferometer was stably locked at 25W (23.3W measured) for the last 4h, and all violin modes are damped to nothing (actually better than in O1).

Here is what I think we should do next:

- The one attempt going to higher power was unlocked by the Izumi-Ballmer instability at the main pendulum frequency. Time to mitigate that - ISS 3rd loop?

- The quick attempt in thermal tuning that Peter and I did suggested that we had too much central heating. We should nail down the optimal thermal tuning.

- Also, time to switch OMC_PD whitening and impedance back to low-noise.
