Rephased AS WFS during DRMI-only lock

We struggled to reacquire after Georgia rephased the AS_A_RF36 WFS on Monday (alog 48857), even though her rephasing clearly made the ASC oscillations go away and improved some POP18 buildups.  Yesterday after maintenence I reverted the Monday rephasing, which enabled us to get locked.  At the beginning of the lock, we did not see the ASC oscillations, but after the IFO thermalized they were clearly there, and remained there throughout the rest of the lock stretch. 

I just gave a shot at rephasing the AS WFS that we use for BS, while we were locked with the arms still held off resonance.  BS ASC was using RF45 Q for its error signal (I had asked TJ to stop at ENGAGE_DRMI_ASC so that we were still on AS 45), and I drove BS in length (600 counts at 8 Hz in the BS M2 L2L filter bank).  I only changed AS_B_RF45 by +6 degrees, but I changed AS_A_RF36 by -20 degrees.  This is pretty different from Georgia's change of +25 degrees; our phasing results are 45 degrees different in DRMI-only versus full 35W IFO.  Interesting, and probably not so good.
