 # Drain campaign: spend 2,638 points, then close the account
 Decision (2026-07-18): use the full points balance on southern imaging, then cancel
 the membership. Constraints and policy facts that shape the plan:
 - Balance 2,638 points; Plan-40 renews 12 Aug 2026 (GBP 32). Cancel BEFORE renewal.
 - Points cannot be refunded, and cannot be used without an active subscription
  (support article 142963). So: drain first, cancel last, in that order.
 - **Cancellation target: 10 Aug 2026**, two days before renewal. Cancellation is
  submitted via MyAccount/Cancel.aspx and requires explicit user confirmation on the
  day; Claude must not submit it unprompted.
 - Rates: see the rate card in state/NOTES.md. Billing is per minute of imaging time.
 - Moon: bright nights roughly 24 Jul - 2 Aug (full ~29 Jul); dark again 5-12 Aug.
  Full-moon week includes free access promotions; paid draining focuses on dark and
  grey nights, narrowband carries the bright week.
 - Scope availability is volatile (much of Chile offline as of 18 Jul); re-check the
  status line on go.itelescope.net before every session and substitute freely.
 ## Session ledger
 Update after every run: date, scope, target, imaging minutes, points charged
 (from account/history.aspx), cumulative spend.
 | Date | Scope | Target | Plan file | Imaging | Est. pts | Actual pts | Notes |
 |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | 2026-07-19 | T33 | 47 Tuc | ngc104-test.txt | 17 min | 0 (free) | DID NOT RUN | reservation 749228 expired unused: no images, no logs on T33 (checked 20 Jul); grid shows reschedule=No despite the flag being set at booking |
 | 2026-07-19 | T59 | NGC 6744 | ngc6744-t59.txt | 180 min | ~240 (0% moon disc. until 21 Jul) | **381** | SUCCESS (txn 851148): ran 00:05:22-03:29:56 SSO, Time Used 3h24m32s, 0% moon disc. Full dataset on scope server: L 15x300s BIN1, RGB 7x300s each BIN2; previews checked, round stars, galaxy clean: no refund case. Effective rate ~112 pts/hr of WALL time (not the 80/hr imaging-time estimate: see NOTES rate correction) |
 | 2026-07-20 | T33 | NGC 6752 | ngc6752.txt | 17 min | 0 (free) | DID NOT RUN | reservation 749229 expired unused: no images, no logs (checked 20 Jul 20:30 UTC, after window) |
 | 2026-07-21 | T32 | Centaurus A | cena-t32.txt | 120 min | ~350 (x1.6 model) | **160** | SUCCESS (txn 851344): ran 18:50:24-21:16:19 SSO local (08:50-11:16 UTC), Time Used 2h25m55s, 25% moon discount. Images present: /images/qisback/T32/NGC5128 on t32.itelescope.net:8032. Came in at 0.46x the x1.6 model, i.e. LESS than the original estimate: see the rate correction below |
 Cumulative spend: 541. Balance after (verified GetAccountStatus 2026-07-21
 11:40 UTC): **2,097**.
 **Rate correction (2026-07-21, supersedes the 2026-07-20 x1.6 warning).** Two
 paid runs now bracket the question, and both bill EXACTLY the plan's imaging
 minutes, not wall-clock:
 | Scope | Plan imaging | Wall (Time Used) | Billed | Points per imaging hour |
 |---|---|---|---|---|
 | T59 | 180 min (36x300s) | 3h24m32s | 381 | **127** (0% moon) |
 | T32 | 120 min (24x300s) | 2h25m55s | 160 | **80** (25% moon) |
 381 = 3.00 h x 127 and 160 = 2.00 h x 80, both to the point. So billing is on
 imaging time as originally documented, and the wall-clock theory is dead. What
 is wrong is the rate card in NOTES.md: it lists T59 at 80/hr (actual 127) and
 T32 at 146/hr (actual 80 even after the 25% moon discount, so a base near
 107/hr). The two look transposed, but two samples cannot prove that. **Do not
 apply a blanket multiplier.** Derive each scope's effective rate from its first
 actual bill, and treat any not-yet-observed scope's card rate as +/-60%.
 ## Planned allocation (~2,600 points, adapt as scopes/weather allow)
 **Phase 1, dark nights now - 23 Jul (~1,030 pts):**
 - T59 NGC 6744 LRGB, 3 h, ~240 (scheduled 19 Jul)
 - T32 Centaurus A LRGB, 2 h, ~292: early UK-afternoon window while it is high
 - T8 Corona Australis dust complex LRGB, 2 h, ~260
 - T70 (Chile) Scorpius tail / Prawn super-wide LRGB, 2 h, ~238
 **Phase 2, bright nights 24 Jul - 2 Aug (~440 pts, narrowband only):**
 - T59 NGC 6188 in Ha/OIII/SII 5nm, 3 h total, ~240
 - T8 Ha on the Cat's Paw / War and Peace field, 1.5 h, ~195
 - Plus any full-moon free promotions for clusters (cost 0, not part of the drain)
 **Phase 3, dark nights 3 - 10 Aug (~1,130 pts):**
 - T8 SMC + 47 Tucanae in one frame, 3 h LRGB, ~390: the signature shot, SMC well
  placed in the second half of the SSO night by August
 - T8 or T59 Large Magellanic Cloud attempt if it clears the elevation limits late
  in the window; otherwise Tarantula on T32, 2 h, ~292
 - Remainder (~450): best-of list: repeat the strongest target for more depth, or
  Chile scopes (T71 106/hr, T73 224/hr) if they return from maintenance: Tarantula
  and NGC 1313 preferred. Aim to land the balance under ~50 points.
 ## Booked reservations (all with plan attached + reschedule flag)
 | ID | Scope | Night of (SSO/obs local) | Slot | Plan | Est. pts | Status (2026-07-20) |
 |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

 | 749302 | T32 | 21 Jul | 18:50-21:50 | cena-t32.txt | ~350 (x1.6 rate, 25% moon disc.) | COMPLETED, billed 160. EVENING slot: T32 has a 35 deg elevation floor and Cen A culminates ~17:10 before dark, sinking to 11 deg by the old 00:35 slot (which could never have run). Ran 18:50-21:16, finishing 34 min early (plan complete, not a fault); images landed under /images/qisback/T32/NGC5128 |
 | (id not captured) | T8 | 22 Jul | 21:45-00:45 | cra-t8.txt | ~250 | booked + MySummary-verified 2026-07-21 11:45 UTC. This is queue #2 finally placed: see the resolution note below. Runs 11:45-14:45 UTC 22 Jul |

Deleted from MySummary with the other three reservations verified intact afterwards; quota back to 6:05/8:00 |
 | 749314 | T33 | 21 Jul | 00:05-00:50 | ngc104-test.txt | 0 (free) | booked + grid-verified 2026-07-21 08:55 UTC. 47 Tuc first-light retry, third attempt. Runs 14:05-14:50 UTC 21 Jul. Reschedule flag again No (free scopes never rebook) |
 The T33 first-light test is now on its THIRD booking (749314); the two prior free
 reservations expired unused. If this one also fails to run, the problem is not the
 booking but the auto-start on free scopes: escalate to walk-in (POST plan.asp per
 plans/README.md) or drop the free-imaging objective.
 ## Booking queue (blocked by the rolling 8-hour reservation allowance)
 Book in order as quota frees (a session completing releases its hours). Exact
 New.aspx parameters; all plans already uploaded and verified on their scopes.
 Verify every booking via Edit.aspx?id= probing (sequential ids), NOT the grid.

 ### CORRECTION (2026-07-21): the Cen A nucleus was never saturated
 An earlier entry here claimed the 21 Jul Cen A data came back with a saturated
 nucleus, and booked a short-exposure core set on that basis. **The claim was
 wrong and the booking has been cancelled without running, at a cost of zero
 points.**
 The 65313 ADU figure came from taking the maximum pixel inside a 300 x 300 px
 box centred on the frame. That measures the brightest thing near the middle of
 the image, which is not the same as measuring the galaxy: it was a foreground
 star 128 px (69 arcsec) from the nucleus, sitting inside the box. Median
 filtering the inner 800 x 800 px to remove stars leaves the galaxy peaking at
 **1944 ADU**, about a thirtieth of the clip level, with **not one star-free
 pixel above 30000 ADU**. The core looked blown in the first processed image
 because of the display stretch, whose white point was set by field stars, and
 re-rendering the same data with a second tone curve scaled to the galaxy
 recovered it fully.
 **The habit that IS worth keeping, in corrected form:** before booking extra
 time to fix a saturated core, *measure whether it is saturated* - median-filter
 the inner region to remove stars first, and check where the frame's bright
 pixels actually are. The check costs a minute. 47 Tuc and the SMC (queue #5)
 may still genuinely saturate, a dense cluster core being the fastest thing there
 is to clip, so run the same measurement on their data before assuming either
 way. plans/hdrcore-t32.txt stays in the repo (and on T32) as a ready-made
 ladder if one of them turns out to need it.
 ### Session 2026-07-21 ~08:55 UTC (booking round run early, before Cen A ran)
 Done this session: free T33 47 Tuc retry booked as 749314 (grid-verified). NOT
 done, both correctly deferred:
 - **Cen A verify**: 749302 had not run yet (starts 08:50 UTC, this session ran at
  08:48). Verify after 11:50 UTC.
 - **cra-t8 (#2)**: blocked twice over. (1) Quota: Cen A holds 3h until it
  completes ~11:50 UTC; with Cat's Paw (2h20m) + Cen A (3h) + T33 (45m) held,
  under ~1h55m is free, not enough for a 3h slot. (2) Conflict: user hajo holds
  T8 00:25-02:25 SSO local (res 749207), overlapping our planned 01:35-04:35.
 **cra-t8 resolution options** (pick with a live grid re-check when quota frees):
 - (a) Shift to 02:25-05:25 after hajo. Downside: Corona Australis culminates
  ~22:30 SSO local, so by 02:25-05:25 it is 4-6.5h past meridian and low; poor.
 - (b) PREFERRED: move cra-t8 to the NEXT night, 2026-07-23T01:35-04:35 (night of
  22 Jul SSO), same clock time, avoids hajo, keeps decent altitude. Re-check that
  night's T8 grid first. One night's slip is fine inside the drain window.
 - (c) Earlier slot 21:25-00:25 (before hajo) is astronomically best but starts
  11:25 UTC, before Cen A releases quota at 11:50; not bookable in time.
 The scheduled 12:13 UTC job (ae3af497) fires after Cen A completes: it should
 verify Cen A + bill, then book cra-t8 by option (b) unless the grid has changed
 (hajo may cancel, opening option (a)/original). At corrected (x1.6) rates the
 full remaining queue runs ~2,530 vs 2,257 balance (~270 over): once actual bills
 for Cen A and CrA land, trim Phase 3 (shorten Tarantula #6 or the SMC slot)
 to land the balance near zero.
 ### Session 2026-07-21 ~11:40 UTC (Cen A verify + cra-t8 booked)
 Ran ahead of the 12:13 UTC scheduled job, after Cen A had finished at 11:16 UTC.
 - **Cen A verified**: completed, billed 160, NGC5128 images on the scope server.
  Ledger and rate model updated (the x1.6 model is withdrawn: see the rate
  correction above).
 - **cra-t8 booked**, but on a better slot than the deferred option (b). Probing
  New.aspx for the original 01:35-04:35 returned "Conflicting reservation. Start
  time must be later than 2:25 AM" (hajo, as predicted), confirming that option
  (a) was all that remained on the night of 21 Jul, and it puts Corona Australis
  3.5-6.5 h past the meridian. Instead the run went to the EVENING of the next
  night: **2026-07-22T21:45 - 2026-07-23T00:45 SSO local**, which brackets the
  ~22:30 culmination, so the whole 115 min of imaging happens near the zenith.
  This is option (c)'s geometry on option (b)'s night; the reason (c) was
  unbookable earlier (quota held by Cen A) had expired by the time Cen A
  completed. Grid probing showed no conflict on either side of the slot.
  Verified in Reservation/MySummary.aspx; quota now 6:50 / 8:00.
 - Moon on the night of 22 Jul is ~57% illuminated, the last usable night before
  the bright-week narrowband phase. LRGB on a dust complex under a half moon is
  a compromise, but the alternative is slipping a Phase 1 broadband target into
  the bright week, which is worse.
 - Reservation id NOT captured: the confirm response carries only
  `ModalStatic.result("OK")` and MySummary does not print ids. Nothing depends
  on the id unless the booking must be edited or deleted, in which case find it
  by probing Edit.aspx?id= around the current sequence (749314 was issued
  ~08:55 UTC on 21 Jul).
 - Budget: 2,097 left, 19 nights to 10 Aug. Remaining queue at card rates is
  roughly 1,300, which UNDER-spends by ~800. With the x1.6 model withdrawn, the
  next planning session should add work rather than trim it: candidates are a
  second narrowband night on T59 (observed 127/hr, the only scope with a
  trustworthy rate), or extending the Phase 3 SMC and Tarantula runs, both of
  which have the sky time to absorb longer plans.
 Substitution rules: if T71 returns to service, move #2 and #7 to T71 (faster
 f/2.8 optics, cheaper 106 pts/hr; re-cut the plans for 1.55"/px). If T70's
 server returns, book #7 as-is. Check the go.itelescope.net status line before
 each booking round. After #6, allocate the remaining balance (~450 pts) to a
 final deep session on the best-performing scope, sized to land under 50 pts.
 **10 Aug: verify balance is near zero, download ALL data from data.itelescope.net,
 then (with explicit user confirmation) cancel via MyAccount/Cancel.aspx.**
 ## Operational notes
 - Sessions are now RESERVED, not walk-in: upload the plan to the scope, then book
  it at reservations.itelescope.net with the plan attached (procedure in
  plans/README.md); iTelescope auto-starts the plan at reservation start and the
  reschedule flag retries weather losses. Claude sessions monitor rather than
  drive. T59 moon discount correction: 0% until 21 Jul, 25% from 22 Jul.
 - Cron jobs live only in an open Claude session; if a day's session has no live
  session to fire it, the user prompts "run today's drain session" and any session
  picks it up from this file plus state/TODO.md.
 - Bad-data protection: iTelescope refunds points for weather-ruined runs on
  request; check each session's images before marking the ledger final.
 - Final data sweep before cancellation: everything on data.itelescope.net AND the
  per-scope /images/qisback/ folders.

 # 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 |
 |---|---|
 | Status JSON (times, obsStat, obsOwner) | /ac/SystemStatus/asystemstatus.asp |
 | 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).
 ## Reservations (verified working 2026-07-18)
 Reservations live at http://reservations.itelescope.net ("Reservations Pilot"),
 reached from each scope's /ac/MenuItems/reservation-edit.asp iframe as
 `?t=<scope-id>&u=<username>` (scope ids look like GRAS059 for T59, GRAS033 for
 T33; full list in the resources JSON on go.itelescope.net/Reservation/Overview.aspx,
 whose embedded DayPilot events also show everyone's bookings, roof/sun times, and
 the moon discount per night). No separate login: it trusts the u= parameter once a
 session cookie exists.
 Creating one is a three-step WebForms dance against
 `New.aspx?start=<ISO local>&end=<ISO local>&r=<scope-id>` (times are OBSERVATORY
 LOCAL): (1) GET the form, (2) POST tokens + DropDownStartTime/DropDownEndTime
 (e.g. "12:05 AM"/"3:45 AM") + PlanToRunListBox=<plan file> + RescheduleCheckbox
 + ButtonRefreshPlans=Refresh Plans, which re-renders with Confirm enabled,
 (3) re-POST the fresh tokens with the same fields + ReservationOKButton=Confirm
 Reservation. Success = response script `ModalStatic.result("OK")` AND the booking
 appearing in the grid: the modal also says "OK" on silent failure, so ALWAYS
 re-fetch the grid and look for the reservation id + username.
 Availability probing (2026-07-21): a plain GET of
 `New.aspx?start=...&end=...&r=...` is a cheap, side-effect-free conflict check.
 The form comes back with the two time dropdowns populated for +/-60 min around
 the requested times, and if the slot collides with someone else's booking it
 also renders "Conflicting reservation. Start time must be later than H:MM AM".
 No message plus a full pair of dropdowns means the window is clear. This beats
 reading the DayPilot grid, whose event divs do not survive a plain
 Invoke-WebRequest fetch (they are rendered client-side).
 Rules learned: maximum reservation length 4:00; recommended duration 1.5x total
 imaging time; the attached plan is auto-started by iTelescope at reservation
 start (no walk-in POST needed); RescheduleCheckbox auto-rebooks the identical
 timeslot on the first available night of the next 30 if the run does not happen.
 Delete/edit via Edit.aspx?id=<reservation id> from the grid.

  since Apr 2019, balance 2,638 points at recon time.
 ## Rate card (2026-07-18, points per imaging hour, billed per minute)
 Extracted from MyAccount/UpdatePlan.aspx: each scope row carries
 data-default-rate (dark-of-moon base); effective rate = base x (1 -
 AccessDiscount from DataService GetMyAvailablePlans) x (1 - moon discount,
 server-side table keyed on illumination, not extracted yet). Plan-40 discount
 is 10% on most scopes, 20% on a few, 0% on the newest (T25, T26, T73, T74).
 Plan-40 rates before moon discount: T2 50, T5 68, T8 130, T10 146, T11 161,
 T14 97, T17 135, T18 81, T20 89, T21 76, T24 186, T25 322, T26 394, T30 161,
 T32 146, T33 0 (free), T59 80, T68 0 (free), T70 119, T71 106, T72 202,
 T73 224, T74 295, T75 202, T80 119.
 Standouts: T59 at 80/hr is the value big scope (20" CDK, square 37 arcmin
 field, 900 s subs); T5 at 68/hr the cheapest paid; T26 at 394/hr the dearest.
 Billing is per minute of imaging (exposure) time, so overhead is not billed.
 **RATE CORRECTION (2026-07-20, from the first real bill):** the paragraph above
 underestimates. T59 session 851148: 180 min of exposure, wall clock 00:05:22 to
 03:29:56 (3h24m34s), history "Time Used" 3h24m32s = WALL time, billed 381 points
 at 0% moon discount. That is ~112 pts/hr of wall time or ~127 pts/hr of exposure
 time, vs the 80/hr the card predicted. So either Time Used (wall clock) is what
 gets billed, or the card's data-default-rate is stale. Consequence: estimate
 sessions at rate x reserved-slot-length (slots run ~1.15-1.5x imaging time), i.e.
 multiply old exposure-based estimates by ~1.6 until more bills confirm the model.
 **RATE CORRECTION 2 (2026-07-21, second bill; SUPERSEDES the x1.6 rule above).**
 T32 session 851344: 120 min of exposure, Time Used 2h25m55s, 25% moon discount,
 billed 160. 160 = 2.00 h x 80 exactly, and the T59 bill is 381 = 3.00 h x 127
 exactly. Both land on the plan's IMAGING minutes to the point, and neither lands
 on wall time. So the wall-clock theory is dead and the original "billed per
 minute of exposure" documentation was right; what is wrong is the card's
 per-scope numbers. Observed effective rates: **T59 127/hr** (card said 80),
 **T32 80/hr even after a 25% moon discount**, implying a base near 107/hr (card
 said 146). The pair looks transposed, but two samples cannot prove it. Rules:
 do NOT apply any blanket multiplier; derive each scope's rate from its first
 real bill; until then treat a card rate as +/-60%; and compute estimates from
 the plan's exposure total, never from the reserved slot length.
 Paid imaging needs no reservation when a scope is idle: same walk-in ACP flow
 as the free scopes, points just deduct. Reservations (to guarantee a slot) go
 through lookup.itelescope.online, which is Cloudflare-protected: Playwright
 needed.

 A reference and review of the iTelescope.net remote telescope network: what each
 telescope is, what it is good at, and which one to book for a given kind of target.
 Since 2026-07-18 the active objective is the drain campaign (CAMPAIGN.md): spend
 the account's 2,638 points on southern-sky imaging by 10 Aug 2026, download all
 data, then cancel the membership before the 12 Aug renewal. Cancellation needs
 explicit user confirmation on the day.

 ## Done (recent)
 - 2026-07-20: NGC 6744 on T59 SUCCEEDED (reservation 749227, txn 851148): full
  LRGB dataset on the scope server (L 15x300s BIN1, RGB 7x300s each BIN2),
  previews verified clean. Billed 381 pts (est was ~240: see the rate
  correction in NOTES.md). Balance now 2,257. Ledger updated in CAMPAIGN.md.

  21 Jul, costs 0.
 ## Done (recent)
 - 2026-07-21 11:40 UTC: Cen A on T32 verified COMPLETE (billed 160, NGC5128
  images on the scope server), and queue #2 (Corona Australis on T8) booked for
  the night of 22 Jul, 21:45-00:45 SSO local, which brackets the target's
  culmination instead of chasing it down the western sky. Rate model rebuilt
  from two actual bills. Details in the CAMPAIGN.md session note.
 ## In progress
- T33 first-light test on its THIRD booking (749314), which had NOT yet run as of
+- (nothing)
  11:40 UTC 21 Jul: it starts 14:05 UTC. Verify after 14:50 UTC (images and logs
  on t33.itelescope.net:8033 were still empty/stale at 11:40, as expected). The
  two prior free reservations (749228, 749229) expired unused with reschedule=No;
  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.
 - The T32 HDR core set (plans/hdrcore-t32.txt) was booked and then CANCELLED on
  2026-07-21 without running: the Cen A nucleus is not saturated, the earlier
  claim having measured a foreground star. See the correction in CAMPAIGN.md.
  Zero points spent. The plan file remains available on T32 if a genuinely
  saturated target turns up.
 - The 21 Jul Cen A data has been fully processed off-repo, in the user's
  Downloads\NGC5128\20260721\stacked folder: masters, plate solution (0.27
  arcsec on 237 stars), an LRGB composite, a globular cluster survey (289
  candidates, 62% catalogue-confirmed, density falling 10.5x outward), surface
  photometry (Sersic n = 4.27, Re = 400 arcsec, total G = 6.56, which matches
  the catalogued brightness and so validates the photometric chain), and a
  transient/moving-object search (both null, with measured limits). METHODS.md
  there documents the lot. Nothing from that analysis needs to come back into
  this repo, but two results affect FUTURE sessions and are recorded here:
  **(a)** measure saturation properly before buying short subs, and **(b)** the
  faint outer halo in that stack is limited by the sky-plane subtraction
  (-17.9 ADU/px of real halo light absorbed), not by exposure time, so more
  integration alone would not have gone deeper.
 - CrA on T8 runs 11:45-14:45 UTC 22 Jul. Verify after 14:45 UTC: images under
  /images/qisback/T8/ on t8.itelescope.net:8008, then the actual bill from
  account/history.aspx into the ledger. This is the first T8 bill, so it also
  fixes T8's effective rate (card says 130/hr; trust nothing until observed).
 - 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). 541 of 2,638 spent; 2,097 remain. The x1.6 estimate multiplier
  is WITHDRAWN: billing is on plan imaging minutes, and per-scope rates must come
  from actual bills (T59 127/hr, T32 80/hr observed; the NOTES rate card is
  unreliable). On current numbers the campaign UNDER-spends by ~800: plan extra
  or longer runs, do not trim. Reschedule flag never sticks (grid always shows
  No): treat every reservation as one-shot and verify the morning after.
  Download the NGC 6744 and NGC 5128 data from data.itelescope.net before the
  10 Aug cancellation sweep. Update the CAMPAIGN.md ledger after every session
  from account/history.aspx.
