- T59 NGC 6744 (reservation 749227) ran 00:05-03:30 SSO local 20 Jul and billed 381 points (txn 851148), not the ~240 estimated. Full LRGB dataset verified on the scope server (L 15x300s BIN1, R/G/B 7x300s each BIN2); preview JPEGs checked: round stars, clean galaxy, no weather damage, so no refund claim. - Rate correction in state/NOTES.md: history 'Time Used' equals wall-clock session time (3h24m32s), and the effective rate was ~112 pts/hr wall / ~127 pts/hr exposure vs the 80/hr the UpdatePlan rate card predicted. All existing queue estimates flagged ~1.6x low until more bills confirm the model. - Both free T33 reservations (749228 47 Tuc, 749229 NGC 6752) expired unused: no images, no logs; grid shows reschedule=No despite the flag being set at booking. First-light test is still outstanding; plans remain uploaded on T33. - Ledger, booked-reservations table and queue updated: balance verified 2,257 via GetAccountStatus; queue #1 (Cen A T32) missed its 21 Jul slot and needs a new night.

## 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.
|
|
|
|
## In progress
|
|
|
|
- T33 first-light test STILL OUTSTANDING: reservations 749228 (47 Tuc, night of
|
|
19 Jul) and 749229 (NGC 6752, night of 20 Jul) both expired unused: no images,
|
|
no logs, and the grid showed reschedule=No despite the flag being set at
|
|
booking. Plans are still uploaded and verified on T33. Next free window:
|
|
night of 22 Jul SSO (21 Jul ~14:05 UTC). Rebook 00:05-00:50 with
|
|
ngc104-test.txt, and investigate the reschedule flag (may not stick on free
|
|
scopes, or the checkbox POST was ignored).
|
|
- 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. IMPORTANT: estimates run
|
|
~1.6x low vs actual billing (see NOTES rate correction): re-cost the queue
|
|
before booking more. Queue #1 (Cen A T32) missed its 21 Jul slot and needs a
|
|
new night. 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.
