-
-### 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

-  photometry (Sersic n = 4.27, Re = 400 arcsec, total G = 6.56, which matches
