Book free T33 47 Tuc retry (749314); defer cra-t8 on quota + hajo conflict

Browse source 
- Session ran early (08:48 UTC, before Cen A 749302's 08:50 UTC start), so this
  round did only the time-sensitive, unblocked work.
- Free T33 47 Tuc retry booked and grid-verified as reservation 749314
  (night of 21 Jul SSO, 00:05-00:50, runs 14:05 UTC). Third attempt: the two
  prior free reservations expired unused, so if this one also fails to run the
  issue is free-scope auto-start, not the booking.
- Cen A (749302) verify deferred: had not run yet; runs 08:50-11:50 UTC.
- cra-t8 (queue #2) deferred, blocked twice: quota held by Cen A until ~11:50
  UTC, AND user hajo holds T8 00:25-02:25 SSO local that night (res 749207),
  overlapping the planned 01:35-04:35 slot. Documented resolution options;
  preferred is slipping cra-t8 one night to 2026-07-23T01:35 to dodge the
  conflict and keep Corona Australis near culmination.
- Scheduled job ae3af497 (~12:13 UTC) will verify Cen A and book cra-t8 against
  a live grid re-check.

## Done (recent)
- 2026-07-21 ~08:55 UTC: free T33 47 Tuc retry booked as reservation 749314
(grid-verified), third attempt at the first-light test, runs 14:05-14:50 UTC
21 Jul, costs 0.
## In progress
- T33 first-light test STILL OUTSTANDING: reservations 749228 (47 Tuc, night of
19 Jul) and 749229 (NGC 6752, night of 20 Jul) both expired unused: no images,
no logs, and the grid showed reschedule=No despite the flag being set at
booking. Plans are still uploaded and verified on T33. Next free window:
night of 22 Jul SSO (21 Jul ~14:05 UTC). Rebook 00:05-00:50 with
ngc104-test.txt, and investigate the reschedule flag (may not stick on free
scopes, or the checkbox POST was ignored).
- T33 first-light test on its THIRD booking (749314). The two prior free
reservations (749228, 749229) expired unused with reschedule=No; the free-scope
auto-start appears not to fire. If 749314 also fails to run, stop rebooking and
either walk it in (POST plan.asp per plans/README.md) or drop the free objective.
- CEN A verify pending: reservation 749302 (T32) runs 08:50-11:50 UTC 21 Jul.
After 11:50 UTC, confirm images on t32.itelescope.net:8032, pull the actual
bill from Account/History.aspx, spot-check a preview, and refine the x1.6 rate
model in NOTES.md.
- cra-t8 (queue #2) NOT yet booked, deferred twice over: (1) quota held by Cen A
until ~11:50 UTC; (2) user hajo holds T8 00:25-02:25 SSO local that night
(res 749207), overlapping our planned 01:35-04:35. Resolution: prefer booking
the NEXT night (2026-07-23T01:35-04:35) to dodge hajo and keep altitude; see
the resolution note in CAMPAIGN.md. Scheduled job ae3af497 (~12:13 UTC) handles
Cen A verify + this booking with a live grid re-check.
- 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). 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.
