Bessel beam laser power cable fell into the SGS beam. This dropped the SGSDIM down to ~4V vs the 6.6 it should be.

Wire is clear now.

Ucomp alignment this morning showed some confusing results.  Looks like we might not have had the bessel beam alignment we expected.

Current plan is the use what we learned over these pervious alignments to; pull the optics and start the alignment from scratch confirming everything as we go.
