Laurence bd31a8a6fb Rebook Cen A on T32 as evening reservation 749302; document quota-driven booking order
- Reservation 749302 created and grid-verified: T32, night of 21 Jul SSO,
  18:50-21:50 local (08:50-11:50 UTC 21 Jul), plan cena-t32.txt, est ~350 pts
  at the corrected x1.6 rate with 25% moon discount (46% moon ~30 deg away).
- The original queue slot (00:35-03:35) was an astronomy error: T32 has a
  35 degree elevation floor and Cen A culminates ~17:10 SSO local in late July,
  sinking to ~11 degrees by midnight. Evening is the only viable window; noted
  in the ledger so the mistake is not repeated.
- Reschedule flag confirmed to never stick (second booking posting
  RescheduleCheckbox=on that renders as No in the grid): every reservation is
  one-shot, verify the morning after.
- Quota math recorded: 5h20m of 8h held; queue #2 (cra-t8) plus the free T33
  47 Tuc retry must wait for the Cen A run to release its 3h (~11:50 UTC
  21 Jul). Full remaining queue at corrected rates ~2,530 vs 2,257 balance:
  Phase 3 needs a ~270-point trim once real bills confirm the rate model.

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).
