TITLE: 07/05 Day Shift: 1430-2330 UTC (0730-1630 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 157Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Tony
SHIFT SUMMARY:
Most of today was supposed to be a straightforward 3hrs of commissioning, but an earthqake lockloss and another random lockloss forced a majority of the shift to be locking/commissioning time. For commissioning there was some PR2 Spot moves, and sheila made a note about possible/probable PR2 & IM4 (pit) adjustments needed for INPUT ALIGN part of initial alignment.
