Observing 1750 UTC
1st attempt:
ALSX was reporting "Green input alignment off"
Keita helped me turn on the PZT servo manually, this locked and then we switched it back to auto.
My attempts to get better flashes before, may have been faster than the QPD loop could keep up with.
1704 lock loss from engage soft loops
2nd attempt:
Same ALSX error. This time after the ALS was shuttered we clicked the LOAD switch in the H1:ALS-X_PZT{1/2}_YAW banks, and then adjusted the bias to be closer to what the values have been. This was only done for yaw because pitch seemed to be okay. Hopefully this fixes the problem for next lock.
OMC sus was saturating during the Engage_Soft_Loops state, and it looked the the ASC was sending large outputs to the suspension. We waited for a bit just after that state to figure out why, but it seemed to calm itself down.
Observing 1750 UTC
SDFs (in attachment order):
Top two channels are the biases that we changed, accepted.
For some reason only PZT2 P was ON in SDF Observe, we changed this.
This Tramp is seen after watchdog trips. It was reverted.

I forgot to mention that during initial alignment, MICH bright locked, but I left it in down for about 30seconds. It seemed to try to move out of down too fast.
