Since I saw that the trend was good, I aligned the MC refl path to the existing IMC alignment:

  1. removed a broken IRIS that was clipping the reflected beam (and its mount)
  2. moved the first 1" diameter steering mirror on the high power path after the 2" diameter R=10% steering mirror. It was not centered.
  3. Moved the lens just upstream of the LSC RFPD away from the PD by ~5 mm. The beam going towards the WFS was too close to this mount and I could see some glow.
  4. Centered the beam on all optics in the WFS path and then the WFS DC.
  5. Centered beam on LSC RFPD.

The reflected spots from the PD are not hitting the dump correctly. WE need to machine a shorter post to lower the dump by ~1 cm to catch the beams.
