All seven remaining campaign sessions were attempted against reservations.itelescope.net in one pass. The rolling reservation allowance (8 hours outstanding on Plan-40) admitted only the Cat's Paw Ha session (749230, T8, night of 26 Jul, verified via Edit.aspx?id= since the grid cannot page that far forward); the other six returned 'quota.' and are recorded as a ready-to-fire queue with exact New.aspx parameters. All plans are uploaded and verified on T8/T32/T59; T70's plan could not be uploaded (scope server unreachable, consistent with the Chile outage) and its entry is blocked pending the server returning. Substitution rules recorded: T71, if it returns, takes the widefield sessions (better optics, lower rate); T70 books as-is if reachable; status line checked before every booking round. Booking cadence: a daily job (or manual 'process the booking queue') books queue items in order as completed sessions release quota. |

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).
- state/: project state under the Default Workflow.
Sources: the iTelescope support article (telescope summary) and the network's maintained Google Sheet. The launchpad at go.itelescope.net is login-only.
