This morning Jenne brought the the ITMX suspension back to good values, according to the oplev, so that we could try a to search for a HWSX return beam. I followed Aidan's instructions and did the search just as before:
I ran the measurement from 22:03-23:30 UTC (+/- a few minutes) before I thought it was easy enough to confirm that there was still nothing showing up, and then handed the ITM back to Jeff to complete his measurements. With more time all of the gaps could have been filled, but this does not show any higher intensity points unlike previous tests (alog36179).
After talking with Aidan, he thinks that ITMX is still not within an acceptable aligned range, and the upper periscope mirror may be misaligned. If there is more time later this week we can try again with the amplitude doubled, increasing the search area, but just waiting for the green beam and his arrival might be best.
Note to myself: I left the HWSX fiber in h1hwsmsr
