I started the morning with an modified manual alignment following along the lines of what was done the other day alog91911.

GVs 1 & 2 were opened today, I did a quick trend of the ITMs oplevs and top mass pointing (Y1 cursors are before the GV closed 1473628152 to be specific, Y2 are the current values at the time I looked), its pretty close.
