- 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.

## Done
|
|
|
|
- 2026-07-17: repo created on git.discworld.casa, Default Workflow scaffold copied in.
|
|
- 2026-07-17: specs sheet snapshotted to data/itelescope-telescopes.csv (24 scopes).
|
|
- 2026-07-17: TELESCOPES.md written: per-scope reviews for all 23 active telescopes
|
|
plus a choosing guide (T74 noted as in commissioning, no specs published).
|
|
- 2026-07-18: TARGETS.md written: southern targets invisible from the UK (dec tiers
|
|
from lat 51.5°N), matched to Q62/X07 scopes, seasonal booking calendar, and a
|
|
July-August starter campaign (T33 free, T71 narrowband, T73 galaxy, T8 LMC later).
|
|
|
|
## Done (recent)
|
|
|
|
- 2026-07-20: NGC 6744 on T59 SUCCEEDED (reservation 749227, txn 851148): full
|
|
LRGB dataset on the scope server (L 15x300s BIN1, RGB 7x300s each BIN2),
|
|
previews verified clean. Billed 381 pts (est was ~240: see the rate
|
|
correction in NOTES.md). Balance now 2,257. Ledger updated in CAMPAIGN.md.
|
|

## Done (recent)
|
|
|
|
- 2026-07-21 ~08:55 UTC: free T33 47 Tuc retry booked as reservation 749314
|
|
(grid-verified), third attempt at the first-light test, runs 14:05-14:50 UTC
|
|
21 Jul, costs 0.
|
|
|
|
## In progress
|
|
|
|
- T33 first-light test on its THIRD booking (749314). The two prior free
|
|
reservations (749228, 749229) expired unused with reschedule=No; the free-scope
|
|
auto-start appears not to fire. If 749314 also fails to run, stop rebooking and
|
|
either walk it in (POST plan.asp per plans/README.md) or drop the free objective.
|
|
- CEN A verify pending: reservation 749302 (T32) runs 08:50-11:50 UTC 21 Jul.
|
|
After 11:50 UTC, confirm images on t32.itelescope.net:8032, pull the actual
|
|
bill from Account/History.aspx, spot-check a preview, and refine the x1.6 rate
|
|
model in NOTES.md.
|
|
- cra-t8 (queue #2) NOT yet booked, deferred twice over: (1) quota held by Cen A
|
|
until ~11:50 UTC; (2) user hajo holds T8 00:25-02:25 SSO local that night
|
|
(res 749207), overlapping our planned 01:35-04:35. Resolution: prefer booking
|
|
the NEXT night (2026-07-23T01:35-04:35) to dodge hajo and keep altitude; see
|
|
the resolution note in CAMPAIGN.md. Scheduled job ae3af497 (~12:13 UTC) handles
|
|
Cen A verify + this booking with a live grid re-check.
|
|
- 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. Estimates run ~1.6x low vs
|
|
actual billing (see NOTES rate correction). 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. Update the CAMPAIGN.md ledger after every session from
|
|
account/history.aspx.
|
|
|
|
## Pending
|
|
|
|
- Automation: map the ACP web endpoints on a per-scope server (start with free
|
|
T33) for plan submission and status; explore lookup.itelescope.online (the new
|
|
planner); enumerate more /DataService.svc methods. Recon notes in NOTES.md.
|
|
- Campaign impact (status seen 2026-07-18): T71 and T73 are offline
|
|
(development/mount testing), as are T2, T17, T18, T20, T25, T30, T72, T74,
|
|
T75, T80. T8, T33, T32, T59 at Siding Spring are operational. Re-plan the
|
|
July-August campaign around T33 free time and Siding Spring scopes until the
|
|
Chile rebuild finishes; re-check status before any booking.
|
|
|
|
- Fill in T74 when iTelescope publishes its specs.
|
|
- Reconcile the retired scopes (T9, T19, T31, T69): the support article still lists
|
|
them but the maintained sheet does not; confirm status and note it.
|
|
- Optional: per-telescope detail pages on support.itelescope.net (links in
|
|
DECISIONS.md) hold photos and operational history if deeper entries are ever wanted.
|
|
- Periodic refresh: re-export the Google Sheet and diff against data/ to catch new or
|
|
changed systems.
