Ops Eve Shift End

TITLE: 06/18 Eve Shift: 2330-0500 UTC (1630-2200 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 145Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Tony
SHIFT SUMMARY:

Currently Observing at 145 Mpc and have been Locked for almost 2 hours.Everything looking good.

Two hours into our previous lock, our range was slowly dropping and we could see that SQZ wasn't looking very good, and trending back the optic allignments Camilla saw that ZM4 and ZM6 weren't where they were supposed to be because the ASC hadn't been offloaded before all the updates earlier today(ndscope1). To fix this, we popped out of Observing and turned on the SQZ ASC for three minutes, which made the sqzing better(ndscope2)! This better sqzing has persisted to this next lock stretch.

After the 01:30 lockloss (85145), I sat in DOWN for a couple minutes while restarting a few Guardian nodes since awg was restarted earlier today and this should help with the guardian node error (like in 85130) (these are the ones I could think of that probably all use awg): ALS_{X,Y}ARM, ESD_EXC_{I,E}TM{X,Y}, SUS_CHARGE, PEM_MAG_INJ Tagging Guardian
