Automation recon: portal endpoints, ACP control servers, live status

Browse source 
Records verified findings from a credentialed read-only recon of the
iTelescope portal (2026-07-18) in state/NOTES.md: the WebForms login flow,
the /DataService.svc JSON endpoints (GetAccountStatus, GetMyAvailablePlans,
ApplyPromoCode), the per-telescope ACP web servers behind HTTP auth
(tNN.itelescope.online / tNN.itelescope.net:80NN, confirmed on T33), the
Planner redirect to lookup.itelescope.online, and the per-site weather URLs.
Credentials themselves stay outside the repo.

state/TODO.md gains the next automation steps (map ACP endpoints, explore
the new planner, enumerate more DataService methods) and a campaign-impact
note: most Chile scopes plus several others are currently offline, including
recommended T71 and T73, so near-term work should target T33/T8/T32/T59 at
Siding Spring and status must be re-checked before any booking.

- Sensors are 16-bit ADC unless noted (T20's ASI2400C is 14-bit).
- Free scopes (30 min/day): T68 (Utah), T33 (Siding Spring).
- Minimum elevation limits come from the support article, not the sheet.
## Automation recon (2026-07-18, all verified live)
Credentials live OUTSIDE this repo (local claudetemp, never commit them).
- go.itelescope.net is ASP.NET WebForms. Login: GET /login.aspx, POST
UsernameTextBox/PasswordTextBox plus __VIEWSTATE, __VIEWSTATEGENERATOR,
__EVENTVALIDATION, LoginButton=Login; session cookie then works everywhere.
- JSON service at /DataService.svc (session-cookie auth): GetAccountStatus
(balance, plan, renewal), GetMyAvailablePlans (per-plan, per-scope
AccessDiscount), ApplyPromoCode (POST). More methods likely; enumerate from
inline $.ajax calls on each page (Scripts/Common.js has none).
- Home page /default.aspx carries live network status text (per-scope
offline/online reasons) plus points balance: cheap to poll.
- Reservation/Overview.aspx links every telescope's own control server:
https://tNN.itelescope.online/ or http://tNN.itelescope.net:80NN/. These are
ACP web servers behind HTTP auth accepting the same iTelescope credentials
(verified read-only on T33: index.asp is a TiddlyWiki info page, min elevation
20 degrees, 900 s max exposure). Session control and plan submission happen
here; ACP endpoint mapping is the next step.
- Reservation/Planner.aspx now redirects to https://lookup.itelescope.online
(new planning tool, not yet explored).
- Weather per site: Weather/Weather.aspx?site=UDRO|SSO|DSC|SRO|AC|EYE.
- Account: Plan-40 (GBP 32.00 per 28 days), renewal 12 Aug 2026, subscribed
since Apr 2019, balance 2,638 points at recon time.

## Pending
- Automation: map the ACP web endpoints on a per-scope server (start with free
T33) for plan submission and status; explore lookup.itelescope.online (the new
planner); enumerate more /DataService.svc methods. Recon notes in NOTES.md.
- Campaign impact (status seen 2026-07-18): T71 and T73 are offline
(development/mount testing), as are T2, T17, T18, T20, T25, T30, T72, T74,
T75, T80. T8, T33, T32, T59 at Siding Spring are operational. Re-plan the
July-August campaign around T33 free time and Siding Spring scopes until the
Chile rebuild finishes; re-check status before any booking.
- 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.
