Ops Eve Shift End

TITLE: 12/30 Eve Shift: 0030-0600 UTC (1630-2200 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 152Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ryan C
SHIFT SUMMARY: Currently Observing at 155Mpc and have been Locked for 2.5 hours. One lockloss during my shift and relocking was entirely hands-off, but we had trouble getting into Observing because the squeezer wouldn't lock.

The FC would go to FC_ASC_ON, then less than a second later the OPO would drop from LOCKED_CLF_DUAL to LOCKED_CLF_DUAL_NO_ISS and then ENGAGE_PUMP_ISS, and either at the same time or immediately following this, the LO guardian would unlock from the OMC, and the filter cavity would go to DOWN a few seconds later. This happened over and over until I took SQZ_MANAGER to DOWN and then back to FDS, at which point we were able to get squeezing and go into Observing. I originally thought this issue was related to the problem Corey and Daniel worked on earlier, but the values for SQZ-SHG_FIBR_REJECTED_DC_POWERMON were still nice and low to where Daniel had adjusted them to, and I don't think there was an issue with the OPO temperature since we were able to lock with the ISS with the setpoint at 80uW?? Tagging SQZ
