Ops Eve Shift End

TITLE: 01/29 Eve Shift: 0030-0600 UTC (1630-2200 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 156Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: TJ
SHIFT SUMMARY: Just started Observing a few minutes ago after relocking. Relocking went relatively well. Two locklosses during my shift and the only problem with relocking both times was waiting for ALSY and ALSX to calm down so we could lock them. ALSX has an excuse because of the temperature excursion at EX (which is now not too bad - the heating overshot a bit but is coming back down and the rate at which the temperature is changing isn't too bad anymore). However, ALSY doesn't have a good excuse and was also causing issues. We noticed this started happening around January 22nd or 23rd. Almost every lockloss, ALSY does this thing (ndscope) where it will be okay, then gets worse and unlocks, then goes back to being okay, and repeat. A few days ago we checked if it was being caused by the WFS, but the WFS seemed fine and turning them off doesn't stop ALSY from acting strange. Tagging ISC
LOG:

01:00 Lockloss
    - ALSX kept losing lock (probably due to temperature changes at EX)
    - Let ALS lock and WFS converge more before continuing
    - Stuck doing MICH so ran an initial alignment

04:45 Lockloss
    - ALSX and ALSY kept losing lock
