Sheila checked that FC1 is now working as expected but was not in May 90462.

Started the morning by setting FC1 to the FC REFL iris ZM1,2,3 sliders set to 90183  (when Sheila had the beam on SQZT7), we then set irises after ZM1 and ZM3. Doing this clipped the return beam on B:L1 aperture, this is expected as we could not get the return beam through the OPO when FC was aligned in Feb.  Later we realized that this doesn't make scene, so set ZM1,2,3 sliders set to when we had good FC flashes in  89694 and then FC1 was moved to get the beam centered on the  FC REFL iris, again this clipped the return beam on B:L1 aperture but the beam was considerably higher at the ZM3 iris than when we originally set it. Around or a little higher than 6.25". Tomorrow we will fully think this though and compare to O4 times. 

We locked the OPO SUS iteratively looking at the beams off the OPO. It was finally lock with the FC REFL beam getting to the second iris but not centered and when we changed the alignment to the IR SQZT7 alignment, the beam made it through both irises when closed. 

Sheila, Begum, Ryosuke then took beam profiles of the beam after ZM1 and ZM2 with the borrowed Phasics camera.
