- Session ran early (08:48 UTC, before Cen A 749302's 08:50 UTC start), so this round did only the time-sensitive, unblocked work. - Free T33 47 Tuc retry booked and grid-verified as reservation 749314 (night of 21 Jul SSO, 00:05-00:50, runs 14:05 UTC). Third attempt: the two prior free reservations expired unused, so if this one also fails to run the issue is free-scope auto-start, not the booking. - Cen A (749302) verify deferred: had not run yet; runs 08:50-11:50 UTC. - cra-t8 (queue #2) deferred, blocked twice: quota held by Cen A until ~11:50 UTC, AND user hajo holds T8 00:25-02:25 SSO local that night (res 749207), overlapping the planned 01:35-04:35 slot. Documented resolution options; preferred is slipping cra-t8 one night to 2026-07-23T01:35 to dodge the conflict and keep Corona Australis near culmination. - Scheduled job ae3af497 (~12:13 UTC) will verify Cen A and book cra-t8 against a live grid re-check. |

Reference and review of the iTelescope.net remote telescope network: every telescope, its specs, what it is good at, and which one to book for a given target.
- TELESCOPES.md: the full review, grouped by observatory, with a "choosing a telescope" guide at the end.
- TARGETS.md: southern-sky targets invisible from the UK, matched to scopes and to the time of year to book them.
- data/itelescope-telescopes.csv: snapshot of the network's maintained specs sheet (source of truth for the numbers).
- state/: project state under the Default Workflow.
Sources: the iTelescope support article (telescope summary) and the network's maintained Google Sheet. The launchpad at go.itelescope.net is login-only.
