Cen A rebooked into the correct window and the booking order for the rest of the queue documented.

Achieved

  • Reservation 749302 created via the New.aspx WebForms flow and grid-verified: T32, night of 21 Jul SSO, 18:50-21:50 local, plan cena-t32.txt (~350 pts at corrected rates, 25% moon discount).
  • Found and documented the planning error in the old slot: T32 has a 35 deg elevation floor and Cen A is evening-only in late July (11 deg by midnight).
  • Confirmed the reschedule flag never sticks (renders No despite being posted on): all reservations are one-shot.
  • Quota position and next booking round (cra-t8 + free T33 retry, 21 Jul midday UK) recorded in CAMPAIGN.md/TODO.md.

Tools: reservations grid DayPilot JSON, New.aspx three-step WebForms POST, TELESCOPES.md elevation data.

- Reservation 749302 created and grid-verified: T32, night of 21 Jul SSO,
  18:50-21:50 local (08:50-11:50 UTC 21 Jul), plan cena-t32.txt, est ~350 pts
  at the corrected x1.6 rate with 25% moon discount (46% moon ~30 deg away).
- The original queue slot (00:35-03:35) was an astronomy error: T32 has a
  35 degree elevation floor and Cen A culminates ~17:10 SSO local in late July,
  sinking to ~11 degrees by midnight. Evening is the only viable window; noted
  in the ledger so the mistake is not repeated.
- Reschedule flag confirmed to never stick (second booking posting
  RescheduleCheckbox=on that renders as No in the grid): every reservation is
  one-shot, verify the morning after.
- Quota math recorded: 5h20m of 8h held; queue #2 (cra-t8) plus the free T33
  47 Tuc retry must wait for the Cen A run to release its 3h (~11:50 UTC
  21 Jul). Full remaining queue at corrected rates ~2,530 vs 2,257 balance:
  Phase 3 needs a ~270-point trim once real bills confirm the rate model.
