Telescope review: all 23 active iTelescope systems
Adds TELESCOPES.md, a per-observatory review of every telescope on the iTelescope.net network with a spec block and an assessment for each, a 'choosing a telescope' use-case table, and general observations (CCD to CMOS migration, Bin2 software limits, elevation limits, network-side calibration). Data sourcing: - data/itelescope-telescopes.csv is a verbatim CSV export of iTelescope's maintained specs Google Sheet (24 rows: 23 active scopes + T74 placeholder). - The support article (Freshdesk 247371) supplied observatory groupings and minimum elevation limits; it still lists T9/T19/T31/T69 which the sheet has dropped - the review follows the sheet and records the discrepancy. - go.itelescope.net is an authenticated app shell; nothing was scraped from it. Also fills in the remaining state/ files: TODO (pending: T74 specs, retired scope reconciliation, periodic sheet refresh), DECISIONS (source-of-truth choice, single-document structure, no launchpad scraping), NOTES (refresh command, CSV quirks), ARCHITECTURE (repo layout), and README.

## Done
|
||||
|
||||
- 2026-07-17: repo created on git.discworld.casa, Default Workflow scaffold copied in.
|
||||
- 2026-07-17: specs sheet snapshotted to data/itelescope-telescopes.csv (24 scopes).
|
||||
- 2026-07-17: TELESCOPES.md written: per-scope reviews for all 23 active telescopes
|
||||
plus a choosing guide (T74 noted as in commissioning, no specs published).
|
||||
|
||||
## In progress
|
||||
|
||||
- (nothing)
|
||||
|
||||
## Pending
|
||||
|
||||
- Fill in T74 when iTelescope publishes its specs.
|
||||
- Reconcile the retired scopes (T9, T19, T31, T69): the support article still lists
|
||||
them but the maintained sheet does not; confirm status and note it.
|
||||
- Optional: per-telescope detail pages on support.itelescope.net (links in
|
||||
DECISIONS.md) hold photos and operational history if deeper entries are ever wanted.
|
||||
- Periodic refresh: re-export the Google Sheet and diff against data/ to catch new or
|
||||
changed systems.
