Records the first paid drain-campaign run and its billing reality.

Achieved

  • T59 NGC 6744 (reservation 749227) confirmed successful: full LRGB dataset on the scope server (L 15x300s BIN1, RGB 7x300s each BIN2), preview JPEGs inspected clean. Billed 381 pts (txn 851148), balance verified 2,257.
  • Rate model corrected in state/NOTES.md: history Time Used = wall clock; effective ~112 pts/hr wall vs the 80/hr card figure. Queue estimates flagged ~1.6x low.
  • Both free T33 reservations (749228/749229) expired unused with reschedule=No; first-light test still outstanding, rebook night of 22 Jul SSO.
  • CAMPAIGN.md ledger/reservations/queue and state/TODO.md updated.

Tools: WebForms login + Account/History.aspx scrape, DataService GetAccountStatus, T59/T33 ACP aindex.asp listings, reservations grid DayPilot JSON, preview JPEG inspection.

- T59 NGC 6744 (reservation 749227) ran 00:05-03:30 SSO local 20 Jul and billed
  381 points (txn 851148), not the ~240 estimated. Full LRGB dataset verified on
  the scope server (L 15x300s BIN1, R/G/B 7x300s each BIN2); preview JPEGs
  checked: round stars, clean galaxy, no weather damage, so no refund claim.
- Rate correction in state/NOTES.md: history 'Time Used' equals wall-clock
  session time (3h24m32s), and the effective rate was ~112 pts/hr wall /
  ~127 pts/hr exposure vs the 80/hr the UpdatePlan rate card predicted. All
  existing queue estimates flagged ~1.6x low until more bills confirm the model.
- Both free T33 reservations (749228 47 Tuc, 749229 NGC 6752) expired unused:
  no images, no logs; grid shows reschedule=No despite the flag being set at
  booking. First-light test is still outstanding; plans remain uploaded on T33.
- Ledger, booked-reservations table and queue updated: balance verified 2,257
  via GetAccountStatus; queue #1 (Cen A T32) missed its 21 Jul slot and needs a
  new night.
