Repo created for a reference/review of the iTelescope.net remote telescope network. This commit copies the Default Workflow in (CLAUDE.md and docs/ from the Default-Workflow repo), adds a .gitignore (secrets and scratch), and fills in state/PROJECT.md with the objective: review every telescope on the network and provide a choosing guide, using only public sources (support article and the maintained Google Sheet; the go.itelescope.net launchpad is login-only).

# Project: itelescope

## Objective
|
|
|
|
A reference and review of the iTelescope.net remote telescope network: what each
|
|
telescope is, what it is good at, and which one to book for a given kind of target.
|
|
|
|
## Scope
|
|
|
|
- In scope: reviews and spec tables for every telescope on the iTelescope network,
|
|
grouped by observatory; source data snapshots; guidance on choosing a scope.
|
|
- Out of scope: automating bookings, image processing, anything requiring the
|
|
iTelescope login (the launchpad at go.itelescope.net is authenticated).
|
|
|
|
## Audience
|
|
|
|
Laurence, when planning imaging or photometry runs on iTelescope, and anyone else
|
|
choosing a telescope on the network.
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
iTelescope.net operates remote telescopes across six observatories (Utah, Sierra
|
|
California, Siding Spring Australia, Deep Sky Chile, AstroCamp Spain, e-EyE Spain).
|
|
Public specs are scattered across a Freshdesk support article and a maintained Google
|
|
Sheet. This repo snapshots that data and turns it into a usable review: per-telescope
|
|
assessments plus a "which scope for what" guide.
|
|
|
|
## Success criteria
|
|
|
|
- Every active telescope on the network has an entry with specs and an assessment.
|
|
- A reader can pick the right scope for widefield, deep space, galaxies, photometry,
|
|
or free imaging without visiting the source pages.
