TITLE: 04/15 Eve Shift: 23:00-07:00 UTC (16:00-00:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 161Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: TJ
SHIFT SUMMARY:
With another 4hr wind storm, Squeezing wasn't possible due to a noisy HAM8 & an FC2 mirror oscillating at 0.35Hz. This wind storm also caused a lockloss. Initial Alignment was run (skipping SRC). Winds calmed, and made it to Observing w/ Squeezing due to quieter conditions. Overall about 5hrs of downtime due to winds preventing Squeezing and causing a lockloss.
LOG:
- 2335 SQZ_FC takes Out of OBSERVING
- 2339 Back to Observing after, SQZ_FC relocks....but....
- 2340 SQZ_FC unlocks again. Staying down as Naoki investigates FC's ASC
- In thoughts of prepping for operating with No Squeezing, I did svn commits to all SQZ files which were M-odified. But we ended up not making changes since the wind storm died.
