TITLE: 05/17 Eve Shift: 23:00-07:00 UTC (16:00-00:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 134 Mpc
SHIFT SUMMARY:

- Came into to a relocking IFO only to be delayed by an EQ (Guatemala - 6.4), holding in READY until ground motion has calmed down

- Lock #1:

• Had touch PRM just a hair (~10 microradians) in YAW and it caught but failed again in DRMI - my cue for an initial alignment
• Ran into an issue regarding the ALS X beatnote after the IA - alog - attaching a ss of a long term trend of the beatnote, it looks to have leveled out
• Acquired NLN @ 1:48 UTC where we started undergoing PEM injections
• Afterwards, I ran a quick bb cal suite, while Vicky was doing some sqz angle alignments - alog
• In OBSERVING @ 4:19 UTC
• EX saturations @ 3:06/4:50/5:55

- The IFO is currently going on a 5 hour stretch, leaving the IFO in OBSERVE, relatively quiet night tonight :)
