Laurence ab184a7dcc Second free-session plan: NGC 6752 (Pavo globular) 
plans/ngc6752.txt mirrors the 47 Tuc test recipe (L 4x120s, RGB 2x90s, Bin2,
~24 min all-in, inside the free daily 30 minutes) on NGC 6752 at RA 19.1811h
dec -59.9844: at RA ~19h it is well placed from mid-evening at Siding Spring
through the whole run window. Uploaded to T33's /plans/qisback/ and verified
byte-identical.

Scheduled for Sunday 2026-07-20 ~15:11 UK as an adaptive follow-up: if
Saturday's 47 Tuc first-light succeeded it images NGC 6752; if Saturday was
clouded out or the scope was contended, it retries the 47 Tuc test instead.
state/TODO.md records the dependency so whichever session fires can decide
from repo state alone.

TODO

The current state of play. Keep it honest and current; this is what the next session reads to know what to do. Move items between sections as they progress.

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.

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.
