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. -- Second free session scheduled for 2026-07-20 same window: runs - plans/ngc6752.txt (uploaded to T33, verified) if the 47 Tuc test succeeded, - otherwise retries ngc104-test.txt. Whichever session runs must record its - outcome here and in NOTES so the other knows. +- 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. Estimates run ~1.6x low vs + actual billing (see NOTES rate correction). 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. ## Pending
