Rebook Cen A on T32 as evening reservation 749302; document quota-driven booking order

Browse source 
- Reservation 749302 created and grid-verified: T32, night of 21 Jul SSO,
  18:50-21:50 local (08:50-11:50 UTC 21 Jul), plan cena-t32.txt, est ~350 pts
  at the corrected x1.6 rate with 25% moon discount (46% moon ~30 deg away).
- The original queue slot (00:35-03:35) was an astronomy error: T32 has a
  35 degree elevation floor and Cen A culminates ~17:10 SSO local in late July,
  sinking to ~11 degrees by midnight. Evening is the only viable window; noted
  in the ledger so the mistake is not repeated.
- Reschedule flag confirmed to never stick (second booking posting
  RescheduleCheckbox=on that renders as No in the grid): every reservation is
  one-shot, verify the morning after.
- Quota math recorded: 5h20m of 8h held; queue #2 (cra-t8) plus the free T33
  47 Tuc retry must wait for the Cen A run to release its 3h (~11:50 UTC
  21 Jul). Full remaining queue at corrected rates ~2,530 vs 2,257 balance:
  Phase 3 needs a ~270-point trim once real bills confirm the rate model.

- DRAIN CAMPAIGN ACTIVE (see CAMPAIGN.md): spend the full balance by 10 Aug,
then cancel before the 12 Aug renewal (user confirmation required for the
cancel itself). 381 of 2,638 spent; 2,257 remain. IMPORTANT: estimates run
~1.6x low vs actual billing (see NOTES rate correction): re-cost the queue
before booking more. Queue #1 (Cen A T32) missed its 21 Jul slot and needs a
new night. Download the NGC 6744 data from data.itelescope.net before the
10 Aug cancellation sweep.
~1.6x low vs actual billing (see NOTES rate correction). Cen A REBOOKED
2026-07-20 as reservation 749302: T32, night of 21 Jul SSO, 18:50-21:50
local (08:50-11:50 UTC 21 Jul), evening slot because T32's 35 deg floor
makes Cen A an evening-only target (the old 00:35 slot was an error).
NEXT SESSION (21 Jul ~midday UK): check 749302 ran + bill, then book queue
#2 (cra-t8, 3h, quota frees when Cen A completes) and the free T33 47 Tuc
retry (00:05-00:50 night of 22 Jul SSO). Reschedule flag never sticks
(grid always shows No): treat every reservation as one-shot and verify the
morning after. Download the NGC 6744 data from data.itelescope.net before
the 10 Aug cancellation sweep.
Update the CAMPAIGN.md ledger after every session from account/history.aspx.
