Feature

The free end-to-end proof run on T33: ACP plan for 47 Tucanae (inside the daily free 30 minutes), uploaded to the scope and verified, plus a runbook mapping every T33 ACP endpoint and the session procedure.

Tools used

curl with HTTP auth against t33.itelescope.net:8033: plan folder listing, multipart upload, round-trip verification. Portal recon from PR #3.

What was achieved

Everything short of pressing Acquire Images, which needs the observatory open: run window is 2026-07-19 ~14:00-19:30 UTC when 47 Tuc clears the 20 degree limit. Open questions for the live run are recorded in the runbook.

plans/ngc104-test.txt is the ACP observing plan for the free 30-minute proof
run on T33: NGC 104 / 47 Tucanae, L 4x120s + RGB 2x90s at Bin2 (~17 min
exposure, ~24 min with overhead), modelled on the account's previous
one-click plan format (decimal-hours RA, decimal-degrees dec, #shutdown at
end). Already uploaded to the scope's /plans/qisback/ folder and verified to
round-trip byte-identical.

plans/README.md is the runbook: the T33 ACP endpoint map (status JSON,
console read, scope connect, plan upload/run, logs), the verified upload
procedure, the not-yet-exercised acquire POST with its Windows-path plan
value, the 47 Tuc run window (second half of the SSO night, ~14:00-19:30
UTC), and the step-by-step session procedure including the open questions a
first live run must answer (scope-connect requirement, abort control).

state/TODO.md tracks the test as in progress.
