From a091e38bc4a3f0ff0e76e911e676ad334979b28b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laurence Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2026 23:25:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Booking queue: full campaign reservations attempted, quota documented 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. --- CAMPAIGN.md | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+) diff --git a/CAMPAIGN.md b/CAMPAIGN.md index 261d7c7..a42ba84 100644 --- a/CAMPAIGN.md +++ b/CAMPAIGN.md @@ -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.
