I don't know; personally, I'll be sweating until the capsule is secure on the recovery barge!  ;)

Per PAO: procedures for translation to berthing underway. Way ahead of the timeline.

Still berthing to go, so let's keep a good eye on that. One would assume the hard part is out of the way.

LIDAR behaved too it seems.

SpaceX:

SpaceX CRS-1 Mission Update:  October 10, 2012

 

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft has been successfully captured at the International Space Station.

 

At approximately 6:56AM ET / 3:56AM PT, Expedition 33 crew member Akihiko Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency used the station’s robotic arm to grapple Dragon. 

 

Expedition 33 Commander Sunita Williams of NASA remarked, “Looks like we’ve tamed the Dragon. We’re happy she’s on board with us.”

 

Approximately two and a half hours from grapple (exact time variable), Williams will gently install Dragon to Harmony’s Common Berthing Mechanism, enabling it to be bolted in place for its expected two and a half week stay at the International Space Station.

Yep, but it'd be sad to have a Dragon on the barge that wasn't berthed at the ISS. So this is a success too.

I heard them say earlier that the Japanese module was blocked off from its view, or inhibited somehow.

SpaceX narrowed the field of view of the LIDAR to prevent a repeat of the troubles encountered on C2+
