Quota position after booking 749302 (2026-07-20): held = 749230 (2h20m) +
749302 (3h) = 5h20m of the 8h allowance, ~2h40m free. Queue #2 (cra-t8, 3h,
night of 21 Jul SSO = 22 Jul 01:35 local) does NOT fit until tonight's Cen A
run completes (~11:50 UTC 21 Jul) and releases its 3h. NEXT BOOKING ROUND:
21 Jul around midday UK, book #2 cra-t8 (full 3h) plus the free T33 47 Tuc
retry (00:05-00:50, night of 22 Jul SSO). 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.
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
server returns, book #7 as-is. Check the go.itelescope.net status line before

- DRAIN CAMPAIGN ACTIVE (see CAMPAIGN.md): spend the full balance by 10 Aug,
then cancel before the 12 Aug renewal (user confirmation required for the
cancel itself). 381 of 2,638 spent; 2,257 remain. IMPORTANT: estimates run
~1.6x low vs actual billing (see NOTES rate correction): re-cost the queue
before booking more. Queue #1 (Cen A T32) missed its 21 Jul slot and needs a
new night. Download the NGC 6744 data from data.itelescope.net before the
10 Aug cancellation sweep.
~1.6x low vs actual billing (see NOTES rate correction). Cen A REBOOKED
2026-07-20 as reservation 749302: T32, night of 21 Jul SSO, 18:50-21:50
local (08:50-11:50 UTC 21 Jul), evening slot because T32's 35 deg floor
makes Cen A an evening-only target (the old 00:35 slot was an error).
NEXT SESSION (21 Jul ~midday UK): check 749302 ran + bill, then book queue
#2 (cra-t8, 3h, quota frees when Cen A completes) and the free T33 47 Tuc
retry (00:05-00:50 night of 22 Jul SSO). Reschedule flag never sticks
(grid always shows No): treat every reservation as one-shot and verify the
morning after. Download the NGC 6744 data from data.itelescope.net before
the 10 Aug cancellation sweep.
