Records verified findings from a credentialed read-only recon of the iTelescope portal (2026-07-18) in state/NOTES.md: the WebForms login flow, the /DataService.svc JSON endpoints (GetAccountStatus, GetMyAvailablePlans, ApplyPromoCode), the per-telescope ACP web servers behind HTTP auth (tNN.itelescope.online / tNN.itelescope.net:80NN, confirmed on T33), the Planner redirect to lookup.itelescope.online, and the per-site weather URLs. Credentials themselves stay outside the repo. state/TODO.md gains the next automation steps (map ACP endpoints, explore the new planner, enumerate more DataService methods) and a campaign-impact note: most Chile scopes plus several others are currently offline, including recommended T71 and T73, so near-term work should target T33/T8/T32/T59 at Siding Spring and status must be re-checked before any booking.

# Notes
|
|
|
|
> Working notes, gotchas, environment quirks, and dead ends to avoid. Free form. The
|
|
> point is to save a future session from rediscovering something the hard way.
|
|
|
|
- Refresh the specs snapshot with:
|
|
`curl -sL "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jZWkkjewOuyNC9YzQ8y2d0pO1e4T7EBeysmQMPBVSOk/export?format=csv" -o data/itelescope-telescopes.csv`
|
|
- The CSV has multi-line cells (quoted); line count is not row count. Telescope rows
|
|
start `T<number>,`; observatory header rows have an empty first column.
|
|
- Sensors are 16-bit ADC unless noted (T20's ASI2400C is 14-bit).
|
|
- Free scopes (30 min/day): T68 (Utah), T33 (Siding Spring).
|
|
- Minimum elevation limits come from the support article, not the sheet.
|
|
|
|
## Automation recon (2026-07-18, all verified live)
|
|
|
|
Credentials live OUTSIDE this repo (local claudetemp, never commit them).
|
|
|
|
- go.itelescope.net is ASP.NET WebForms. Login: GET /login.aspx, POST
|
|
UsernameTextBox/PasswordTextBox plus __VIEWSTATE, __VIEWSTATEGENERATOR,
|
|
__EVENTVALIDATION, LoginButton=Login; session cookie then works everywhere.
|
|
- JSON service at /DataService.svc (session-cookie auth): GetAccountStatus
|
|
(balance, plan, renewal), GetMyAvailablePlans (per-plan, per-scope
|
|
AccessDiscount), ApplyPromoCode (POST). More methods likely; enumerate from
|
|
inline $.ajax calls on each page (Scripts/Common.js has none).
|
|
- Home page /default.aspx carries live network status text (per-scope
|
|
offline/online reasons) plus points balance: cheap to poll.
|
|
- Reservation/Overview.aspx links every telescope's own control server:
|
|
https://tNN.itelescope.online/ or http://tNN.itelescope.net:80NN/. These are
|
|
ACP web servers behind HTTP auth accepting the same iTelescope credentials
|
|
(verified read-only on T33: index.asp is a TiddlyWiki info page, min elevation
|
|
20 degrees, 900 s max exposure). Session control and plan submission happen
|
|
here; ACP endpoint mapping is the next step.
|
|
- Reservation/Planner.aspx now redirects to https://lookup.itelescope.online
|
|
(new planning tool, not yet explored).
|
|
- Weather per site: Weather/Weather.aspx?site=UDRO|SSO|DSC|SRO|AC|EYE.
|
|
- Account: Plan-40 (GBP 32.00 per 28 days), renewal 12 Aug 2026, subscribed
|
|
since Apr 2019, balance 2,638 points at recon time.
