User decision 2026-07-18: use the full 2,638-point balance on southern imaging, then cancel the membership before the 12 Aug renewal (GBP 32). CAMPAIGN.md holds the plan: policy facts that force the order (points are non-refundable and unusable without an active subscription, per support article 142963), a three-phase allocation shaped by the moon (dark-night LRGB now and 3-10 Aug, narrowband through the bright 24 Jul - 2 Aug week), a per-session ledger to reconcile against account/history.aspx, the 10 Aug data-download-then-cancel endgame, and the rule that the cancellation POST itself is never submitted without explicit user confirmation on the day. plans/ngc6744-t59.txt is the first paid run (T59, L 15x300 Bin1 + RGB 7x300 Bin2, ~180 min imaging, ~240 pts), already uploaded to T59 and verified byte-identical. PROJECT.md and TODO.md updated to make the drain the active objective for any future session.

## 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).
|
|
|
|
## In progress
|
|
|
|
- T33 first-light test: ngc104-test.txt (47 Tuc, ~24 min LRGB) uploaded to
|
|
/plans/qisback/ on T33 and verified. Run window: 2026-07-19 roughly 14:00-19:30
|
|
UTC when 47 Tuc clears the 20 degree limit. Procedure in plans/README.md.
|
|
Remaining: live-run the plan (confirm the plan.asp POST and any scope-connect
|
|
step), monitor via console, pull images/logs, record outcome in NOTES.
|
|
- Second free session scheduled for 2026-07-20 same window: runs
|
|
plans/ngc6752.txt (uploaded to T33, verified) if the 47 Tuc test succeeded,
|
|
otherwise retries ngc104-test.txt. Whichever session runs must record its
|
|
outcome here and in NOTES so the other knows.
|
|
- 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). First paid run: NGC 6744 on T59 (plans/ngc6744-t59.txt,
|
|
uploaded and verified), scheduled 2026-07-19 after the free test, ~240 pts.
|
|
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.
