In the last 3 overnight locks, our SQZ quickly degraded from 4.4dB to ~3.3dB as the IFO thermalized. Plot attached. The CLF RF6 slightly increased. Sheila discusses these changes in 74059.

After the last OPO temperature change, it looks like the SQZ angle should be adjusted, see attached.

This morning when we got to NLN, I changed it form 144.66deg to 138.02 deg plot, but I expect we should retune it when the IFO is thermalized at the start of commissioning.
