Booking queue: full campaign reservations attempted, quota documented

Browse source 
All seven remaining campaign sessions were attempted against
reservations.itelescope.net in one pass. The rolling reservation allowance
(8 hours outstanding on Plan-40) admitted only the Cat's Paw Ha session
(749230, T8, night of 26 Jul, verified via Edit.aspx?id= since the grid
cannot page that far forward); the other six returned 'quota.' and are
recorded as a ready-to-fire queue with exact New.aspx parameters. All plans
are uploaded and verified on T8/T32/T59; T70's plan could not be uploaded
(scope server unreachable, consistent with the Chile outage) and its entry
is blocked pending the server returning.

Substitution rules recorded: T71, if it returns, takes the widefield
sessions (better optics, lower rate); T70 books as-is if reachable; status
line checked before every booking round. Booking cadence: a daily job (or
manual 'process the booking queue') books queue items in order as completed
sessions release quota.

@ -49,6 +49,37 @@ Update after every run: date, scope, target, imaging minutes, points charged
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.

## Booking queue (blocked by the rolling 8-hour reservation allowance)
Book in order as quota frees (a session completing releases its hours). Exact
New.aspx parameters; all plans already uploaded and verified on their scopes.
Verify every booking via Edit.aspx?id= probing (sequential ids), NOT the grid.

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.**
