Merged into git.discworld.casa/laurence/astrophotography on 2026-07-21, where it lives on as the itelescope/ directory alongside the processing pipeline, with both histories preserved. The notice goes in CLAUDE.md as well as README.md deliberately: under the Default Workflow a session reads CLAUDE.md first, and the drain campaign is live with runs most nights, so a concurrent session needs to see the redirect before it starts work rather than after it has committed. Not archiving yet. The campaign runs until 10-12 Aug and nothing should break mid-flight; archive once it closes. |

Important
This repository has moved. Since 2026-07-21 it lives on as the
itelescope/directory of astrophotography, merged with the processing pipeline. Both histories were preserved.Do new work there, not here. This copy is kept read-only-in-spirit until the drain campaign closes (10-12 Aug 2026), because sessions are running most nights and nothing should break mid-campaign. Anything committed here after the merge will be stranded.

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.
