QUICK SUMMARY:
Currently Observing and have been Locked for 3 hours. Our range was bad, which we figured was due to squeezing being way worse than last lock and not getting better with thermalization. We popped out of Observing to adjust squeezing but it was giving us issues and we had trouble getting IR to lock (see Ryan's alog). Finally were able to get the filter cavity locked by adjusting the OPO temp, but our squeezing was still bad, so Ryan adjusted the OPO temperature again and got a tiny bit of squeezing out (-1db), but not much. Range is basically back to where it was before all this.
