OPS Wednesday OWL mid shift update

After failing to find DRMI and a lockloss at FIND_IR early on I ran an initial alignment, I was then able to reacquire NLN without any interventions at 08:44 UTC

In Observing at 09:02UTC once the ADS signals had converged for the camera servo to turn on, I let everything thermalize for about 2 hours, until we reached >430kW in the arms. I'm going to take us out of observing shortly to test/take a measurement of a new FF filter for MICH and SRCL then after that I'm going to run a calibration suite and hopefully then go back into observing for the rest of the morning.

Verbal reported a EQ from NZ (5.5) whose' R-waves will hit us in a half hour.
