- 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.

## 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). Cen A REBOOKED
|
|
2026-07-20 as reservation 749302: T32, night of 21 Jul SSO, 18:50-21:50
|
|
local (08:50-11:50 UTC 21 Jul), evening slot because T32's 35 deg floor
|
|
makes Cen A an evening-only target (the old 00:35 slot was an error).
|
|
NEXT SESSION (21 Jul ~midday UK): check 749302 ran + bill, then book queue
|
|
#2 (cra-t8, 3h, quota frees when Cen A completes) and the free T33 47 Tuc
|
|
retry (00:05-00:50 night of 22 Jul SSO). 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.
