# Observing plans and the T33 session runbook
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
ACP observing plans for iTelescope scopes, plus the procedure to run one on T33
|
|
||||||
(the free Siding Spring scope). Credentials are NOT in this repo: they live in
|
|
||||||
the local claudetemp itelescope folder (creds.txt, `username=`/`password=` lines).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Plan format (ACP)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See [ngc104-test.txt](ngc104-test.txt). Directives, then a target line:
|
|
||||||
`Name<TAB>RA_decimal_hours<TAB>Dec_decimal_degrees`. Counts, intervals, binning
|
|
||||||
and filters are parallel comma-separated lists. `#shutdown` parks safely at the
|
|
||||||
end (iTelescope's own one-click plans do the same).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## T33 endpoints (base http://t33.itelescope.net:8033, HTTP auth = iTelescope creds)

||||||

||||||
| Purpose | Path |

||||||

|
||||||

|
|
||||||
| Console text | /ac/SystemStatus/aconsread.asp |
|
|
||||||
| Scope connect control | /ac/SystemStatus/ascopeconn.asp |
|
|
||||||
| Shutter/roof status | /ac/SystemStatus/ashutterctl.asp |
|

||||||
| My plan folder (list/upload/delete) | /plans/qisback/aindex.asp, aupload.asp, adelfile.asp |
|
|
||||||
| Run a plan ("Acquire Images") | POST /ac/Plans/plan.asp |
|
|
||||||
| My logs | /logs/qisback/aindex.asp |
|
|
||||||
| Finished data | data.itelescope.net |
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Upload: multipart POST to `/plans/qisback/aupload.asp`, fields `File1` (the file)
|
|
||||||
and `DestPath=/plans/qisback`. Verified working 2026-07-18; content round-trips
|
|
||||||
exactly.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Run: the web UI posts the plan select to `/ac/Plans/plan.asp`; the select's value
|
|
||||||
is the WINDOWS path `C:\ProgramData\ACP\ACP Web Data\Doc Root\plans\qisback\<file>`.
|
|
||||||
Field names seen: `plan`, optional `VPhot`, `AutoLogoff`. NOT yet exercised live
|
|
||||||
(observatory was closed, daytime); the first live session must confirm whether a
|
|
||||||
scope-connect POST (ascopeconn.asp) is required first, and capture the exact
|
|
||||||
response shape.

|
||||||

||||||
## The 47 Tuc free-session test (ngc104-test.txt)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Target: NGC 104 / 47 Tucanae, RA 0.4015 h, Dec -72.0814 deg (circumpolar at SSO).
|
|
||||||
- L 4x120 s, RGB 2x90 s each, Bin2: about 17 min exposure, about 24 min with
|
|
||||||
overhead, inside the daily free 30 minutes.
|
|
||||||
- Uploaded to /plans/qisback/ on 2026-07-18 and verified.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### When to run
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
47 Tuc clears T33's 20 degree minimum elevation in the second half of the SSO
|
|
||||||
night. SSO local = UTC+10; the good window is roughly 14:00-19:30 UTC (UK
|
|
||||||
afternoon/evening). Sunrise at SSO was 06:14 local (20:14 UTC) at recon time;
|
|
||||||
stop well before dawn.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Procedure
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. GET asystemstatus.asp: confirm observatory open (obsStat) and no other user
|
|
||||||
(obsOwner n/a). If someone is on, wait and retry; T33 is first-come.
|
|
||||||
2. Confirm the plan file is still in /plans/qisback/ (aindex.asp).
|
|
||||||
3. POST plan.asp with the plan's Windows path to start acquisition.
|
|
||||||
4. Poll aconsread.asp (console) every minute or two: slew, centering, filter
|
|
||||||
changes, exposures. The run self-terminates via #shutdown.
|
|
||||||
5. Images land in /images/qisback/ on the scope server and then on
|
|
||||||
data.itelescope.net; logs in /logs/qisback/.
|
|
||||||
6. Record the session outcome in state/NOTES.md.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Abort path if something looks wrong: the web UI exposes an abort on the console
|
|
||||||
page; locate it live before starting exposures (not yet mapped).

- T33 first-light test: ngc104-test.txt (47 Tuc, ~24 min LRGB) uploaded to

/plans/qisback/ on T33 and verified. Run window: 2026-07-19 roughly 14:00-19:30
|

UTC when 47 Tuc clears the 20 degree limit. Procedure in plans/README.md.
|

Remaining: live-run the plan (confirm the plan.asp POST and any scope-connect
|
|

step), monitor via console, pull images/logs, record outcome in NOTES.
