Move the iTelescope network reference and campaign under itelescope/

Preparing to merge this repository into a combined astrophotography
repo. The network review, the southern-target guide, the drain campaign
and the observing plans all belong together under one directory; the
Default Workflow files (CLAUDE.md, docs/, state/) stay at the top level
because they will govern the combined repository rather than just this

+# Drain campaign: spend 2,638 points, then close the account
+
+Decision (2026-07-18): use the full points balance on southern imaging, then cancel
+the membership. Constraints and policy facts that shape the plan:
+
+- Balance 2,638 points; Plan-40 renews 12 Aug 2026 (GBP 32). Cancel BEFORE renewal.
+- Points cannot be refunded, and cannot be used without an active subscription
+  (support article 142963). So: drain first, cancel last, in that order.
+- **Cancellation target: 10 Aug 2026**, two days before renewal. Cancellation is
+  submitted via MyAccount/Cancel.aspx and requires explicit user confirmation on the
+  day; Claude must not submit it unprompted.
+- Rates: see the rate card in state/NOTES.md. Billing is per minute of imaging time.
+- Moon: bright nights roughly 24 Jul - 2 Aug (full ~29 Jul); dark again 5-12 Aug.
+  Full-moon week includes free access promotions; paid draining focuses on dark and
+  grey nights, narrowband carries the bright week.
+- Scope availability is volatile (much of Chile offline as of 18 Jul); re-check the
+  status line on go.itelescope.net before every session and substitute freely.

Full dataset on scope server: L 15x300s BIN1, RGB 7x300s each BIN2; previews checked, round stars, galaxy clean: no refund case. Effective rate ~112 pts/hr of WALL time (not the 80/hr imaging-time estimate: see NOTES rate correction) |
+| 2026-07-20 | T33 | NGC 6752 | ngc6752.txt | 17 min | 0 (free) | DID NOT RUN | reservation 749229 expired unused: no images, no logs (checked 20 Jul 20:30 UTC, after window) |
+| 2026-07-21 | T32 | Centaurus A | cena-t32.txt | 120 min | ~350 (x1.6 model) | **160** | SUCCESS (txn 851344): ran 18:50:24-21:16:19 SSO local (08:50-11:16 UTC), Time Used 2h25m55s, 25% moon discount. Images present: /images/qisback/T32/NGC5128 on t32.itelescope.net:8032. Came in at 0.46x the x1.6 model, i.e. LESS than the original estimate: see the rate correction below |
+
+Cumulative spend: 541. Balance after (verified GetAccountStatus 2026-07-21
+11:40 UTC): **2,097**.
+
+**Rate correction (2026-07-21, supersedes the 2026-07-20 x1.6 warning).** Two
+paid runs now bracket the question, and both bill EXACTLY the plan's imaging
+minutes, not wall-clock:
+
+| Scope | Plan imaging | Wall (Time Used) | Billed | Points per imaging hour |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| T59 | 180 min (36x300s) | 3h24m32s | 381 | **127** (0% moon) |
+| T32 | 120 min (24x300s) | 2h25m55s | 160 | **80** (25% moon) |
+
+381 = 3.00 h x 127 and 160 = 2.00 h x 80, both to the point. So billing is on
+imaging time as originally documented, and the wall-clock theory is dead. What
+is wrong is the rate card in NOTES.md: it lists T59 at 80/hr (actual 127) and
+T32 at 146/hr (actual 80 even after the 25% moon discount, so a base near
+107/hr). The two look transposed, but two samples cannot prove that. **Do not
+apply a blanket multiplier.** Derive each scope's effective rate from its first
+actual bill, and treat any not-yet-observed scope's card rate as +/-60%.
+
+## Planned allocation (~2,600 points, adapt as scopes/weather allow)
+
+**Phase 1, dark nights now - 23 Jul (~1,030 pts):**
+- T59 NGC 6744 LRGB, 3 h, ~240 (scheduled 19 Jul)
+- T32 Centaurus A LRGB, 2 h, ~292: early UK-afternoon window while it is high
+- T8 Corona Australis dust complex LRGB, 2 h, ~260
+- T70 (Chile) Scorpius tail / Prawn super-wide LRGB, 2 h, ~238
+
+**Phase 2, bright nights 24 Jul - 2 Aug (~440 pts, narrowband only):**
+- T59 NGC 6188 in Ha/OIII/SII 5nm, 3 h total, ~240
+- T8 Ha on the Cat's Paw / War and Peace field, 1.5 h, ~195
+- Plus any full-moon free promotions for clusters (cost 0, not part of the drain)
+
+**Phase 3, dark nights 3 - 10 Aug (~1,130 pts):**
+- T8 SMC + 47 Tucanae in one frame, 3 h LRGB, ~390: the signature shot, SMC well
+  placed in the second half of the SSO night by August
+- T8 or T59 Large Magellanic Cloud attempt if it clears the elevation limits late
+  in the window; otherwise Tarantula on T32, 2 h, ~292
+- Remainder (~450): best-of list: repeat the strongest target for more depth, or
+  Chile scopes (T71 106/hr, T73 224/hr) if they return from maintenance: Tarantula
+  and NGC 1313 preferred. Aim to land the balance under ~50 points.

+
+### CORRECTION (2026-07-21): the Cen A nucleus was never saturated
+
+An earlier entry here claimed the 21 Jul Cen A data came back with a saturated
+nucleus, and booked a short-exposure core set on that basis. **The claim was
+wrong and the booking has been cancelled without running, at a cost of zero
+points.**
+
+The 65313 ADU figure came from taking the maximum pixel inside a 300 x 300 px
+box centred on the frame. That measures the brightest thing near the middle of
+the image, which is not the same as measuring the galaxy: it was a foreground
+star 128 px (69 arcsec) from the nucleus, sitting inside the box. Median
+filtering the inner 800 x 800 px to remove stars leaves the galaxy peaking at
+**1944 ADU**, about a thirtieth of the clip level, with **not one star-free
+pixel above 30000 ADU**. The core looked blown in the first processed image
+because of the display stretch, whose white point was set by field stars, and
+re-rendering the same data with a second tone curve scaled to the galaxy
+recovered it fully.
+
+**The habit that IS worth keeping, in corrected form:** before booking extra
+time to fix a saturated core, *measure whether it is saturated* - median-filter
+the inner region to remove stars first, and check where the frame's bright
+pixels actually are. The check costs a minute. 47 Tuc and the SMC (queue #5)
+may still genuinely saturate, a dense cluster core being the fastest thing there
+is to clip, so run the same measurement on their data before assuming either
+way. plans/hdrcore-t32.txt stays in the repo (and on T32) as a ready-made
+ladder if one of them turns out to need it.
+
+### Session 2026-07-21 ~08:55 UTC (booking round run early, before Cen A ran)
+
+Done this session: free T33 47 Tuc retry booked as 749314 (grid-verified). NOT
+done, both correctly deferred:
+- **Cen A verify**: 749302 had not run yet (starts 08:50 UTC, this session ran at
+  08:48). Verify after 11:50 UTC.
+- **cra-t8 (#2)**: blocked twice over. (1) Quota: Cen A holds 3h until it
+  completes ~11:50 UTC; with Cat's Paw (2h20m) + Cen A (3h) + T33 (45m) held,
+  under ~1h55m is free, not enough for a 3h slot. (2) Conflict: user hajo holds
+  T8 00:25-02:25 SSO local (res 749207), overlapping our planned 01:35-04:35.
+
+**cra-t8 resolution options** (pick with a live grid re-check when quota frees):
+- (a) Shift to 02:25-05:25 after hajo. Downside: Corona Australis culminates
+  ~22:30 SSO local, so by 02:25-05:25 it is 4-6.5h past meridian and low; poor.
+- (b) PREFERRED: move cra-t8 to the NEXT night, 2026-07-23T01:35-04:35 (night of
+  22 Jul SSO), same clock time, avoids hajo, keeps decent altitude. Re-check that
+  night's T8 grid first. One night's slip is fine inside the drain window.
+- (c) Earlier slot 21:25-00:25 (before hajo) is astronomically best but starts
+  11:25 UTC, before Cen A releases quota at 11:50; not bookable in time.
+
+The scheduled 12:13 UTC job (ae3af497) fires after Cen A completes: it should
+verify Cen A + bill, then book cra-t8 by option (b) unless the grid has changed
+(hajo may cancel, opening option (a)/original). At corrected (x1.6) rates the
+full remaining queue runs ~2,530 vs 2,257 balance (~270 over): once actual bills
+for Cen A and CrA land, trim Phase 3 (shorten Tarantula #6 or the SMC slot)
+to land the balance near zero.
+
+### Session 2026-07-21 ~11:40 UTC (Cen A verify + cra-t8 booked)
+
+Ran ahead of the 12:13 UTC scheduled job, after Cen A had finished at 11:16 UTC.
+
+- **Cen A verified**: completed, billed 160, NGC5128 images on the scope server.
+  Ledger and rate model updated (the x1.6 model is withdrawn: see the rate
+  correction above).
+- **cra-t8 booked**, but on a better slot than the deferred option (b). Probing
+  New.aspx for the original 01:35-04:35 returned "Conflicting reservation. Start
+  time must be later than 2:25 AM" (hajo, as predicted), confirming that option
+  (a) was all that remained on the night of 21 Jul, and it puts Corona Australis
+  3.5-6.5 h past the meridian. Instead the run went to the EVENING of the next
+  night: **2026-07-22T21:45 - 2026-07-23T00:45 SSO local**, which brackets the
+  ~22:30 culmination, so the whole 115 min of imaging happens near the zenith.
+  This is option (c)'s geometry on option (b)'s night; the reason (c) was
+  unbookable earlier (quota held by Cen A) had expired by the time Cen A
+  completed. Grid probing showed no conflict on either side of the slot.
+  Verified in Reservation/MySummary.aspx; quota now 6:50 / 8:00.
+- Moon on the night of 22 Jul is ~57% illuminated, the last usable night before
+  the bright-week narrowband phase. LRGB on a dust complex under a half moon is
+  a compromise, but the alternative is slipping a Phase 1 broadband target into
+  the bright week, which is worse.
+- Reservation id NOT captured: the confirm response carries only
+  `ModalStatic.result("OK")` and MySummary does not print ids. Nothing depends
+  on the id unless the booking must be edited or deleted, in which case find it
+  by probing Edit.aspx?id= around the current sequence (749314 was issued
+  ~08:55 UTC on 21 Jul).
+- Budget: 2,097 left, 19 nights to 10 Aug. Remaining queue at card rates is
+  roughly 1,300, which UNDER-spends by ~800. With the x1.6 model withdrawn, the
+  next planning session should add work rather than trim it: candidates are a
+  second narrowband night on T59 (observed 127/hr, the only scope with a
+  trustworthy rate), or extending the Phase 3 SMC and Tarantula runs, both of
+  which have the sky time to absorb longer plans.
+
+Substitution rules: if T71 returns to service, move #2 and #7 to T71 (faster
+f/2.8 optics, cheaper 106 pts/hr; re-cut the plans for 1.55"/px). If T70's
+server returns, book #7 as-is. Check the go.itelescope.net status line before
+each booking round. After #6, allocate the remaining balance (~450 pts) to a
+final deep session on the best-performing scope, sized to land under 50 pts.
+
+**10 Aug: verify balance is near zero, download ALL data from data.itelescope.net,
+then (with explicit user confirmation) cancel via MyAccount/Cancel.aspx.**
+
+## Operational notes
+
+- Sessions are now RESERVED, not walk-in: upload the plan to the scope, then book
+  it at reservations.itelescope.net with the plan attached (procedure in
+  plans/README.md); iTelescope auto-starts the plan at reservation start and the
+  reschedule flag retries weather losses. Claude sessions monitor rather than
+  drive. T59 moon discount correction: 0% until 21 Jul, 25% from 22 Jul.
+- Cron jobs live only in an open Claude session; if a day's session has no live
+  session to fire it, the user prompts "run today's drain session" and any session
+  picks it up from this file plus state/TODO.md.
+- Bad-data protection: iTelescope refunds points for weather-ruined runs on
+  request; check each session's images before marking the ledger final.
+- Final data sweep before cancellation: everything on data.itelescope.net AND the
+  per-scope /images/qisback/ folders.

+# Southern targets: what the UK can never show you
+
+A target guide for imaging objects that are invisible (or hopeless) from the UK,
+using the southern half of the iTelescope network: Siding Spring, Australia (Q62)
+and Deep Sky Chile (X07). Companion to [TELESCOPES.md](TELESCOPES.md).
+
+## The visibility rule from the UK
+
+From latitude 51.5°N (southern England), an object's maximum altitude is
+`90° - 51.5° + declination`:
+
+- **Dec below about -38°: never rises.** These objects cannot be imaged from the UK
+  at all, ever.
+- **Dec -25° to -38°: technically rises, practically hopeless.** Culminates under
+  ~15° altitude, buried in atmosphere and murk.
+- Dec -10° to -25°: imageable from the UK but always low and compromised; far better
+  from the southern sites.
+
+Everything below is grouped by those tiers, then matched to scopes and to the time
+of year when it is best placed from the southern sites.
+
+## Tier 1: never visible from the UK (dec < -38°)
+
+### The Magellanic Clouds (the headline act)
+
+| Target | Dec | Best scope | Notes |

+and Deep Sky Chile. Siding Spring scopes have 30-35 degree minimum elevation limits,
+so aim within a few hours of culmination; T70 in Chile can go to the horizon.
+
+- **Jan-Mar:** Tarantula and the LMC, NGC 1313, Vela SNR and the Gum Nebula, Carina
+  rising late evening.
+- **Apr-Jun:** Eta Carinae at its best, Crux and the Coalsack, Omega Centauri,
+  Centaurus A, NGC 4945, the Musca dark nebulae.
+- **Jul-Sep (now):** the Scorpius tail and Ara at the zenith: Cat's Paw, War and
+  Peace, Prawn, NGC 6188, NGC 6231; NGC 6744; Corona Australis; 47 Tucanae and the
+  SMC in the second half of the night.
+- **Oct-Dec:** Magellanic Cloud prime time, 47 Tucanae, Sculptor galaxies (NGC 253,
+  55, 300), Fornax cluster and NGC 1365, NGC 1566.
+
+## A sensible first campaign (July-August)
+
+1. **Free warm-up on T33** (30 min/day, Siding Spring): 47 Tucanae or NGC 6752 in
+   LRGB across a few nights. Costs nothing, learns the booking system.
+2. **T71 narrowband run** (Chile, f/2.8): NGC 6188 or the Cat's Paw + War and Peace
+   region. Fast optics keep the bill down; use the standard 300 s calibrated subs.
+3. **T73 galaxy shot**: NGC 6744, currently well placed, as an LRGB target.
+4. **Book ahead for October-November:** T8 for the LMC (or SMC + 47 Tuc in one
+   frame): the single most "you cannot do this from the UK" image on the network.
+
+## Budgeting a points balance
+
+Published rate shape (from itelescope.net/standard-plans, 2026-07): affordable
+scopes roughly $19-54 per imaging hour, premium scopes roughly $54-118 per hour,
+where the range is the moon-phase discount (dark of moon at the top of the range,
+bright moon at the bottom) and the plan discount (10% on Plan-40, 20% on Plan-90).
+Exact per-scope, per-night rates are shown in the login portal's planner; treat the
+numbers below as planning estimates, not quotes.
+
+What a ~2,600 point balance buys, roughly:
+
+- **A strong narrowband image on a fast scope (T71, T75):** 2-3 hours of exposure
+  is plenty at f/2.8-f/3.8; booked around gibbous moon the rate is at the low end,
+  so call it 150-350 points per finished target.
+- **An LRGB galaxy on T73 or T17:** wants dark-of-moon time at premium-scope rates;
+  3-4 hours, roughly 300-500 points per target.
+- **The T8 Magellanic Cloud shot:** 2-3 hours LRGB at a mid-range rate, roughly
+  200-350 points.
+
+So ~2,600 points is comfortably 8-12 finished showpiece targets, or a full year of
+the seasonal calendar above at one or two targets a month. Stretch it further with:
+
+- **Full moon weeks are free** on the standard plans: use them for bright globulars
+  and clusters (47 Tuc, NGC 3532, IC 2602) where moonlight matters least, and keep
+  paid time for faint stuff.
+- **The daily free 30 minutes** (T33 south, T68 north) for framing tests and short
+  targets, never spend points discovering a framing mistake.
+- **Moon-phase arbitrage:** book narrowband (Carina, Ara, Cat's Paw) at bright moon
+  when rates bottom out; the 3 nm filters do not care about moonlight.
+
+## Cost-shape notes
+
+- Fast scopes (T71 f/2.8, T75 f/3.8, T70 f/3.5) reach depth in the least imaging
+  time, which is what you pay for: prefer them for nebulae.
+- The two free scopes cover both hemispheres of this list poorly (T68 is northern)
+  but T33 covers southern globulars and compact targets well.
+- Moonlight: narrowband targets (Carina, Ara, Scorpius nebulae) tolerate moon;
+  save galaxy and globular time (T73, T17, T8 LRGB) for dark-of-moon bookings.

+# iTelescope.net telescope review
+
+A review of every telescope on the iTelescope.net network, grouped by observatory.
+Compiled 2026-07-17 from the network's own sources:
+
+- Support article (observatory summaries, minimum elevations):
+  https://support.itelescope.net/support/solutions/articles/247371
+- Maintained specs Google Sheet (snapshotted in [data/itelescope-telescopes.csv](data/itelescope-telescopes.csv)):

+
+Note on coverage: the Google Sheet is the maintained source and is what this review
+follows. The older support article additionally lists T9, T19, T31 and T69, which no
+longer appear in the sheet (retired or rebuilt); T74 appears in the sheet with no
+specs, presumably in commissioning.

+
+---
+
+## Utah Desert Remote Observatory (MPC U94)
+
+Dark Great Basin desert site; the largest cluster on the network and the main
+northern-hemisphere hub.
+
+### T2: Takahashi TOA-150 + QHY268C (one-shot colour)
+
+- 150 mm f/7.3 apochromatic refractor, 1105 mm focal length
+- QHY268C colour CMOS (Sony IMX571, APS-C), 0.69"/px, 72.6 x 48.6 arcmin
+- Paramount GTS, off-axis guided, no filters; minimum elevation 25 degrees
+
+**Review:** the premium one-shot-colour option. Superb refractor optics and a modern
+back-illuminated sensor at a well-sampled 0.69"/px make it the easiest route to a
+finished colour image of medium-sized targets (galaxy groups, planetary nebulae,
+globulars) with no filter runs to plan. No narrowband, so emission nebulae under
+moonlight are off the menu. Files are large (26 MP 16-bit FITS).
+
+### T5: Takahashi Epsilon 250 + SBIG ST-10XME
+
+- 250 mm f/3.4 hyperbolic flat-field astrograph, 850 mm focal length
+- ST-10XME CCD (NABG), 1.66"/px, 60.6 x 40.8 arcmin
+- Paramount PME, external guiding; RGB, Ha/SII/OIII, and Johnson-Cousins B, V, I
+
+**Review:** a fast classic. The f/3.4 Epsilon gathers light quickly for its class and
+the photometric filter set makes it one of the few scopes that does both pretty
+pictures and science. The small, old NABG CCD is the weak point: only 3.2 MP, and
+bright stars bloom on long exposures, so keep subs short around bright fields.
+
+### T11: Planewave CDK20 + FLI ProLine PL11002M
+
+- 510 mm (20") f/4.5 corrected Dall-Kirkham with 0.66x reducer, 2280 mm
+- PL11002M CCD (full frame), 0.81"/px, 54.3 x 36.2 arcmin
+- Ascension 200HR; LRGB, 3 nm narrowband, and U, B, V, R, I; minimum elevation 20 degrees
+
+**Review:** big aperture at a fast reduced focal ratio with a generous field: a strong
+general-purpose deep-space scope for nebulae and larger galaxies, plus full UBVRI for
+photometry. The sensor's 51% peak QE is dated, so it needs more integration time than
+the CMOS scopes for the same depth, and it is noted as sensitive to stray-light
+gradients near full moon.
+
+### T14: Takahashi FSQ-106 Fluorite + SBIG STX-16803
+
+- 106 mm f/5.0 Petzval refractor, 530 mm focal length
+- STX-16803 CCD, 3.5"/px, 238.8 x 238.8 arcmin (4 x 4 degrees)
+- Paramount ME, unguided; LRGB, 5 nm Ha/SII/OIII, V; minimum elevation 25 degrees
+
+**Review:** the classic mono widefield workhorse. Four square degrees on the square
+16803 sensor suits large nebula complexes (North America, Veil, Rho Ophiuchi) and
+mosaics. CCD rather than CMOS, so integration is slower than modern rivals, and
+dithering is recommended. Pick it for framed mono narrowband over T20's colour.
+
+### T20: Takahashi FSQ-106ED + ZWO ASI2400C (one-shot colour)
+
+- 106 mm f/5.0 Petzval refractor, 530 mm focal length
+- ASI2400C colour CMOS (Sony IMX410, full frame, 14-bit), 2.31"/px, 233.7 x 155.8 arcmin
+- Paramount ME, unguided; Optolong L-Pro and L-Ultimate (3 nm dual-band), Astrodon narrowband
+- Field rotated 90 degrees relative to T14 for alternative framing
+
+**Review:** the colour twin of T14 with a modern full-frame CMOS. The L-Ultimate
+dual-band filter is the clever bit: one-shot-colour narrowband on emission nebulae,
+even with the moon up. Sensor is 14-bit, so dynamic range trails the mono 16-bit
+scopes. The best low-effort widefield choice on the network.
+
+### T21: Planewave CDK17 + FLI PL6303E
+
+- 431 mm (17") f/4.5 corrected Dall-Kirkham with 0.66x reducer, 1940 mm
+- PL6303E CCD (NABG), 0.96"/px, 49.2 x 32.8 arcmin
+- Ascension 200HR; Astrodon LRGB, 5 nm narrowband, and UBVRI; minimum elevation 20 degrees
+
+**Review:** billed as a combined photometry and imaging system, and that is its niche:
+the sensitive NABG chip plus a full Johnson-Cousins set makes it a proper science
+scope. The same NABG sensitivity means blooming on bright subjects, so it rewards
+careful target and exposure choice rather than casual use.
+
+### T25: Planewave CDK20 + Player One Zeus 455M PRO
+
+- 508 mm (20") f/6.8 corrected Dall-Kirkham at native focal length, 3454 mm
+- Zeus 455M mono CMOS (Sony IMX455, full frame), 0.23"/px, 36.2 x 24.2 arcmin, 61 MP
+- Planewave L-500; Astrodon LRGB and 3 nm narrowband
+
+**Review:** the resolution monster. At 0.23"/px it is oversampled for almost any
+seeing, which means you can bin or drizzle as you please and still resolve fine
+structure in small galaxies and planetary nebulae. The cost is enormous files (61 MP
+per sub) and a narrow field. Choose it when the target is small and detail is the
+point.
+
+### T26: Planewave Delta Rho 500 + ZWO ASI6200MM Pro
+
+- 508 mm (20") f/3.0 corrected astrograph, 1537 mm focal length
+- ASI6200MM mono CMOS (IMX455, full frame, Bin2 only), 1.01"/px, 80.4 x 54.0 arcmin
+- Planewave L-550 on equatorial wedge; Chroma LRGB and 3 nm narrowband
+- Recommended subs: LRGB 30-180 s, narrowband 180-300 s (900 s available)
+
+**Review:** arguably the best imaging system on the network: half a metre of aperture
+at f/3.0 with a modern 91% QE sensor is a light bucket that reaches faint extended
+nebulosity (integrated flux nebulae, faint Ha shells) in a fraction of the usual
+integration time, over a 1.3-degree field. Bin2-only is a software limitation, not an
+optical one, and barely matters at this image scale.
+
+### T68: Celestron RASA 11 + ZWO ASI2600C (free, one-shot colour)
+
+- 279 mm (11") f/2.2 Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt astrograph, 620 mm focal length
+- ASI2600C colour CMOS (IMX571, APS-C), 1.25"/px, 130.2 x 87.0 arcmin
+- Paramount ME II, mount-guided, no filters; 30 minutes free per day
+
+**Review:** the free taster scope, and genuinely good: f/2.2 means even short free
+sessions produce satisfying colour images of bright nebulae and comets over a
+2-degree field. No filters and modest QE cap its ceiling. Ideal for trying the
+network, time-lapse of transients, or quick-look framing before booking a paid scope.
+
+---
+
+## Sierra Remote Observatory, California (MPC U69)
+
+High Sierra site with steady seeing; hosts the network's largest northern aperture.
+
+### T24: Planewave CDK24 + Player One Zeus 455M PRO
+
+- 610 mm (24") f/6.5 corrected Dall-Kirkham, 3962 mm focal length
+- Zeus 455M mono CMOS, 0.395"/px (Bin2), 31.6 x 21.1 arcmin
+- Ascension 200HR, external guiding beyond 300 s; Astrodon LRGB, 3 nm narrowband, V and Ic
+- Match subs to calibration set (60/120/180/300/600/900 s); minimum elevation 25 degrees
+
+**Review:** the northern flagship. The biggest glass in the northern half of the
+network on a steady-seeing site, with a modern high-QE sensor: first choice for small
+galaxies, quasar fields and faint photometry (V and Ic fitted). The operational notes
+(RBI flush, fixed exposure ladder, dithering) show it is run seriously for calibrated
+science data. Narrow field, so not for showpiece nebulae.
+
+---
+
+## Siding Spring Observatory, Australia (MPC Q62)
+
+The network's southern-hemisphere anchor, on the AAO site. The only access most users
+have to Magellanic Cloud and far-southern targets at serious aperture. Roof geometry
+limits northern views (horizon limits 35-75 degrees depending on scope).
+
+### T8: Takahashi FSQ-106ED + FLI Microline 16803
+
+- 106 mm f/5.0 Petzval refractor, 530 mm focal length
+- ML16803 CCD, 3.5"/px, 238.8 x 238.8 arcmin (4 x 4 degrees)
+- Paramount PME, external guiding; Astrodon LRGB, EXO, narrowband, NIR luminance
+- North horizon limit 75 degrees; dithering recommended (occasional dark columns)
+
+**Review:** the southern widefield essential: four square degrees on the LMC, SMC,
+Eta Carinae or the Gum Nebula is something no northern scope can offer. Same era of
+CCD as T14 with the same patience requirement, and its known dark-column quirk makes
+dithering effectively mandatory. Book it for large southern showpieces.
+
+### T17: Planewave CDK17 + ZWO ASI6200MM Pro
+
+- 432 mm (17") f/6.8 corrected Dall-Kirkham, 2939 mm focal length
+- ASI6200MM mono CMOS (Bin2 only), 0.53"/px, 42.4 x 28.3 arcmin
+- Paramount PME, unguided; Astrodon LRGB and 5 nm narrowband; minimum elevation 35 degrees
+
+**Review:** a modern deep-field machine pointed at the southern sky: 91% QE at half an
+arcsecond per pixel is a potent combination for southern galaxies (NGC 1365, Centaurus
+A) and planetary nebulae. The tight 35-degree elevation floor means plan targets near
+culmination.
+
+### T30: Planewave CDK20 + FLI PL6303E
+
+- 508 mm (20") f/4.4 corrected Dall-Kirkham with 0.66x reducer, 2262 mm
+- PL6303E CCD (NABG), 0.81"/px, 41.6 x 27.8 arcmin
+- Ascension 200HR; Astrodon LRGB, 5 nm narrowband, and full Johnson-Cousins UBVRcIc
+
+**Review:** the southern science scope: big aperture, fast reduced optics and the
+full photometric filter set. Same NABG blooming caveat as its northern siblings, and
+the CCD needs more integration than T17's CMOS for imaging, so treat it as
+photometry-first, imaging-second.
+
+### T32: Planewave CDK17 + ZWO ASI6200MM Pro
+
+- 431 mm (17") f/6.8 corrected Dall-Kirkham, 2912 mm focal length
+- ASI6200MM mono CMOS (Bin2 only), 0.53"/px, 42.4 x 28.3 arcmin
+- Ascension 200HR; Astrodon LRGB, 5 nm narrowband, plus V and Ic; minimum elevation 30 degrees
+
+**Review:** effectively T17's twin with a slightly friendlier elevation limit and V/Ic
+photometric filters added. If T17 is booked, this is the same capability; if you need
+magnitudes as well as pictures, prefer T32 of the pair.
+
+### T33: 12.5" RCOS Ritchey-Chretien + Apogee Alta U16 (free)
+
+- 320 mm (12.5") f/9.0 Ritchey-Chretien, 2885 mm focal length
+- Alta U16 CCD (NABG), 0.54"/px, 37 x 37 arcmin
+- Paramount ME, external guiding; Astrodon LRGB and narrowband
+- 30 minutes free per day; north horizon limit 45 degrees
+- Recommended: LRGB 300 s; narrowband 300 s Bin2 or 600 s Bin1 on calm nights
+
+**Review:** the free southern scope, and a much more serious instrument than "free"
+suggests: a proper RC with narrowband filters at 0.54"/px. The NABG CCD blooms on
+bright stars and f/9 is slow, so free 30-minute slots are best spent on compact,
+reasonably bright targets, or accumulated across nights.
+
+### T59: Planewave CDK20 + FLI ProLine 16803
+
+- 510 mm (20") f/6.8 corrected Dall-Kirkham, 3411 mm focal length
+- ProLine 16803 CCD, 0.54"/px, 37.2 x 37.2 arcmin
+- Ascension 200HR; Astrodon LRGB, 5 nm narrowband, Ic and Z; capable of 15-minute subs
+
+**Review:** deep and square: the 16803's square field at half-arcsecond sampling with
+an ABG chip rated for very long exposures. The scope to book for faint southern
+targets that need 900-second narrowband subs without blooming worries. QE is dated
+(60%), so it trades sensor efficiency for exposure headroom.
+
+---
+
+## Deep Sky Chile (MPC X07)
+
+Newest site, Atacama-quality southern skies; a modern all-CMOS lineup built around
+astrophotography.
+
+### T70: Samyang 135 mm f/3.5 + ZWO ASI2600MM Pro
+
+- 65 mm camera lens at f/3.5, 129 mm focal length
+- ASI2600MM mono CMOS (IMX571, APS-C), 4.51"/px, 469.8 x 355.2 arcmin (7.8 x 5.9 degrees)
+- Paramount ME, guided; Astrodon LRGB and narrowband; minimum elevation 0 degrees
+
+**Review:** an eight-degree mono narrowband field under Atacama skies, down to the
+horizon. Made for constellation-scale mosaics, the Gum Nebula, and the Milky Way core.
+It is a camera lens, so expect corner coma and halos on bright stars; that is the
+stated trade for the field of view.
+
+### T71: Takahashi Epsilon 180ED + ZWO ASI2600MM Pro
+
+- 180 mm f/2.8 hyperbolic Newtonian astrograph, 500 mm focal length
+- ASI2600MM mono CMOS, 1.55"/px, 161.4 x 108.0 arcmin
+- Paramount MyT, guided; Astrodon LRGB and 5 nm narrowband
+- Electronic shutter: no user darks; calibrated data supplied for standard sub lengths
+
+**Review:** the best fast-widefield system on the network: f/2.8 optics, a modern
+sensor and Chilean skies. A 2.7 x 1.8 degree field at 1.55"/px suits nearly every
+showpiece southern nebula. Subs are constrained to the standard calibration ladder
+(10-600 s) since you cannot take your own darks, and files are large (101 MiB).
+
+### T72: Planewave CDK20 + FLI ML-16200
+
+- 510 mm (20") f/6.8 corrected Dall-Kirkham, 3411 mm focal length
+- ML-16200 CCD, 0.359"/px, 26.9 x 21.5 arcmin
+- Planewave L-500; LRGB, narrowband, and U, B, V, R, I
+- Precision-scaled raw calibration frames published at data.itelescope.net (0-900 s)
+
+**Review:** the Chilean science workhorse: full UBVRI photometry, very fine sampling,
+and a published high-precision calibration pipeline aimed squarely at photometric
+work. The 39Ke full well is modest, so watch saturation on bright comparison stars.
+For pretty pictures the CMOS scopes on site are faster; for southern photometry this
+is the one.
+
+### T73: Planewave CDK14 + ZWO ASI2600MM Pro
+
+- 356 mm (14") f/7.2 corrected Dall-Kirkham, 2563 mm focal length
+- ASI2600MM mono CMOS, 0.31"/px, 31.8 x 21.0 arcmin
+- Paramount ME II, guided; Chroma LRGB and 3 nm narrowband
+
+**Review:** a fine-detail southern imager: 0.31"/px oversampling with a near-zero
+dark current sensor (darks essentially redundant) and tight 3 nm Chroma narrowband.
+The pick for small southern galaxies and planetaries when T25-style resolution is
+wanted below the celestial equator. Short 240 s max recommended subs keep runs simple.
+
+### T74: (in commissioning)
+
+Listed in the network sheet with no published specs yet.
+
+### T75: ASA N250 + ZWO ASI6200MM Pro
+
+- 250 mm f/3.8 Newtonian astrograph, 950 mm focal length
+- ASI6200MM mono CMOS (Bin2 only), 1.72"/px, 137.4 x 91.8 arcmin
+- Paramount MyT, guided; Chroma LRGB and 3 nm narrowband
+
+**Review:** the middle option at Deep Sky Chile: faster and wider than the CDKs,
+deeper than the Epsilon. A 2.3 x 1.5 degree field at f/3.8 with 91% QE makes quick
+work of medium-large southern nebulae. Bin2-only sampling is coarse but well matched
+to the focal length.
+
+---
+
+## AstroCamp Observatory, Spain (MPC I89)
+
+High-altitude site in the Spanish mountains; fills the European longitude gap so
+northern targets can be followed when America is in daylight.
+
+### T18: Planewave CDK12 + QHY600M
+
+- 318 mm (12.5") f/5.3 corrected Dall-Kirkham, 1683 mm focal length
+- QHY600M mono CMOS (IMX455, full frame, Bin2 only), 0.92"/px, 73.6 x 49.1 arcmin
+- Paramount PME, externally guided; Astrodon LRGB, 5 nm narrowband, photometric V and Ic
+- Minimum elevation 40 degrees
+
+**Review:** a well-balanced all-rounder: enough aperture for galaxies, a wide enough
+field (1.2 degrees) for most nebulae, modern sensor, and V/Ic for photometry. Its real
+value is longitude coverage for time-critical work (exoplanet transits, variable
+stars, GRB follow-up) from Europe. The 40-degree elevation floor is the strictest on
+the network, so target selection matters.
+
+---
+
+## Entre Encinas y Estrellas (e-EyE), Spain
+
+Hosting site in Extremadura; currently one iTelescope system.
+
+### T80: Samyang 135 mm f/3.5 + ZWO ASI2600MM Pro
+
+- 65 mm camera lens at f/3.5, 129 mm focal length
+- ASI2600MM mono CMOS, 5.98"/px, 622.2 x 415.8 arcmin (10.4 x 6.9 degrees)
+- Paramount MyT, guided; Astrodon LRGB and narrowband
+
+**Review:** T70's northern sibling: a ten-degree mono field for constellation-scale
+imaging (whole of Orion's belt and sword in one frame, big Ha mosaics of Cygnus).
+Same camera-lens caveats on corner stars. Between this and T70 the entire sky is
+covered at super-wide field.
+

+
+## Choosing a telescope

+| Long (15 min) narrowband subs, south | T59 | |
+| European longitude / transit timing | T18 | |

+
+## General observations
+
+- The network is mid-migration from legacy CCDs (16803, PL6303E, ST-10XME) to modern
+  back-illuminated CMOS (IMX455, IMX571): the CMOS scopes reach the same depth in
+  roughly half the integration time thanks to 85-91% peak QE, and several of the CCD
+  systems (NABG chips especially) carry blooming caveats the CMOS ones do not.
+- Several CMOS systems are Bin2-only due to software limitations (T17, T18, T26, T32,
+  T75). At their focal lengths this costs little real resolution.
+- Minimum elevation limits vary widely (0 degrees at T70 up to 40 degrees at T18) and
+  are a real planning constraint, especially at Siding Spring where the roof blocks
+  much of the northern sky.
+- Calibration is handled network-side on several scopes (T71's electronic shutter
+  disallows user darks; T72 publishes precision-scaled calibration frames; T24 wants
+  subs matched to its calibration ladder). Check the per-scope notes before planning
+  exposures.

+# Observing plans and the T33 session runbook
+
+ACP observing plans for iTelescope scopes, plus the procedure to run one on T33
+(the free Siding Spring scope). Credentials are NOT in this repo: they live in
+the local claudetemp itelescope folder (creds.txt, `username=`/`password=` lines).
+
+## Plan format (ACP)
+
+See [ngc104-test.txt](ngc104-test.txt). Directives, then a target line:
+`Name<TAB>RA_decimal_hours<TAB>Dec_decimal_degrees`. Counts, intervals, binning
+and filters are parallel comma-separated lists. `#shutdown` parks safely at the
+end (iTelescope's own one-click plans do the same).
+
+## T33 endpoints (base http://t33.itelescope.net:8033, HTTP auth = iTelescope creds)
+
+| Purpose | Path |
+|---|---|
+| Status JSON (times, obsStat, obsOwner) | /ac/SystemStatus/asystemstatus.asp |
+| Console text | /ac/SystemStatus/aconsread.asp |
+| Scope connect control | /ac/SystemStatus/ascopeconn.asp |
+| Shutter/roof status | /ac/SystemStatus/ashutterctl.asp |
+| My plan folder (list/upload/delete) | /plans/qisback/aindex.asp, aupload.asp, adelfile.asp |
+| Run a plan ("Acquire Images") | POST /ac/Plans/plan.asp |
+| My logs | /logs/qisback/aindex.asp |
+| Finished data | data.itelescope.net |
+
+Upload: multipart POST to `/plans/qisback/aupload.asp`, fields `File1` (the file)
+and `DestPath=/plans/qisback`. Verified working 2026-07-18; content round-trips
+exactly.
+
+Run: the web UI posts the plan select to `/ac/Plans/plan.asp`; the select's value
+is the WINDOWS path `C:\ProgramData\ACP\ACP Web Data\Doc Root\plans\qisback\<file>`.
+Field names seen: `plan`, optional `VPhot`, `AutoLogoff`. NOT yet exercised live
+(observatory was closed, daytime); the first live session must confirm whether a
+scope-connect POST (ascopeconn.asp) is required first, and capture the exact
+response shape.
+
+## The 47 Tuc free-session test (ngc104-test.txt)
+
+- Target: NGC 104 / 47 Tucanae, RA 0.4015 h, Dec -72.0814 deg (circumpolar at SSO).
+- L 4x120 s, RGB 2x90 s each, Bin2: about 17 min exposure, about 24 min with
+  overhead, inside the daily free 30 minutes.
+- Uploaded to /plans/qisback/ on 2026-07-18 and verified.
+
+### When to run
+
+47 Tuc clears T33's 20 degree minimum elevation in the second half of the SSO
+night. SSO local = UTC+10; the good window is roughly 14:00-19:30 UTC (UK
+afternoon/evening). Sunrise at SSO was 06:14 local (20:14 UTC) at recon time;
+stop well before dawn.
+
+### Procedure
+
+1. GET asystemstatus.asp: confirm observatory open (obsStat) and no other user
+   (obsOwner n/a). If someone is on, wait and retry; T33 is first-come.
+2. Confirm the plan file is still in /plans/qisback/ (aindex.asp).
+3. POST plan.asp with the plan's Windows path to start acquisition.
+4. Poll aconsread.asp (console) every minute or two: slew, centering, filter
+   changes, exposures. The run self-terminates via #shutdown.
+5. Images land in /images/qisback/ on the scope server and then on
+   data.itelescope.net; logs in /logs/qisback/.
+6. Record the session outcome in state/NOTES.md.
+
+Abort path if something looks wrong: the web UI exposes an abort on the console
+page; locate it live before starting exposures (not yet mapped).
+
+## Reservations (verified working 2026-07-18)
+
+Reservations live at http://reservations.itelescope.net ("Reservations Pilot"),
+reached from each scope's /ac/MenuItems/reservation-edit.asp iframe as
+`?t=<scope-id>&u=<username>` (scope ids look like GRAS059 for T59, GRAS033 for
+T33; full list in the resources JSON on go.itelescope.net/Reservation/Overview.aspx,
+whose embedded DayPilot events also show everyone's bookings, roof/sun times, and
+the moon discount per night). No separate login: it trusts the u= parameter once a
+session cookie exists.
+
+Creating one is a three-step WebForms dance against
+`New.aspx?start=<ISO local>&end=<ISO local>&r=<scope-id>` (times are OBSERVATORY
+LOCAL): (1) GET the form, (2) POST tokens + DropDownStartTime/DropDownEndTime
+(e.g. "12:05 AM"/"3:45 AM") + PlanToRunListBox=<plan file> + RescheduleCheckbox
++ ButtonRefreshPlans=Refresh Plans, which re-renders with Confirm enabled,
+(3) re-POST the fresh tokens with the same fields + ReservationOKButton=Confirm
+Reservation. Success = response script `ModalStatic.result("OK")` AND the booking
+appearing in the grid: the modal also says "OK" on silent failure, so ALWAYS
+re-fetch the grid and look for the reservation id + username.
+
+Availability probing (2026-07-21): a plain GET of
+`New.aspx?start=...&end=...&r=...` is a cheap, side-effect-free conflict check.
+The form comes back with the two time dropdowns populated for +/-60 min around
+the requested times, and if the slot collides with someone else's booking it
+also renders "Conflicting reservation. Start time must be later than H:MM AM".
+No message plus a full pair of dropdowns means the window is clear. This beats
+reading the DayPilot grid, whose event divs do not survive a plain
+Invoke-WebRequest fetch (they are rendered client-side).
+
+Rules learned: maximum reservation length 4:00; recommended duration 1.5x total
+imaging time; the attached plan is auto-started by iTelescope at reservation
+start (no walk-in POST needed); RescheduleCheckbox auto-rebooks the identical
+timeslot on the first available night of the next 30 if the run does not happen.
+Delete/edit via Edit.aspx?id=<reservation id> from the grid.
