TITLE: 10/26 Eve Shift: 23:00-07:00 UTC (16:00-00:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Aligning
INCOMING OPERATOR: Jeff
SHIFT SUMMARY: Slow recovery from a big maintenance day. There were ISS struggles in the beginning, then ALS was pointed to nowhere, followed by many hours trying to figure out why the IMC was not locking. While Sheila and I had seemed to have tried everything, the MC just suddenly locked by itself. The FSS PZT Mon may have been oscillating for a while which could have caused much of the issue, but we are not 100% sure that this was the only problem for that time. Initial alignment also had PRM and SRM waaaaaay off, which meant adjusting other optics after adjusting those as well. Just finished an initial alignment and starting up the chain before I hand it off to Jeff.
