Feature

The account wind-down plan: three-phase points drain (~2,600 pts of southern imaging shaped by moon phase and scope availability), session ledger, first paid T59 run prepped, and the cancel-before-12-Aug endgame with an explicit-confirmation gate on the cancellation itself.

Tools used

WebFetch (points/cancellation policy article), curl (T59 plan upload + verification).

What was achieved

Any future session can run the drain from repo state alone; first paid session (NGC 6744 on T59, ~240 pts) is uploaded and scheduled for 19 Jul.

User decision 2026-07-18: use the full 2,638-point balance on southern
imaging, then cancel the membership before the 12 Aug renewal (GBP 32).
CAMPAIGN.md holds the plan: policy facts that force the order (points are
non-refundable and unusable without an active subscription, per support
article 142963), a three-phase allocation shaped by the moon (dark-night
LRGB now and 3-10 Aug, narrowband through the bright 24 Jul - 2 Aug week),
a per-session ledger to reconcile against account/history.aspx, the 10 Aug
data-download-then-cancel endgame, and the rule that the cancellation POST
itself is never submitted without explicit user confirmation on the day.

plans/ngc6744-t59.txt is the first paid run (T59, L 15x300 Bin1 + RGB
7x300 Bin2, ~180 min imaging, ~240 pts), already uploaded to T59 and
verified byte-identical. PROJECT.md and TODO.md updated to make the drain
the active objective for any future session.
