- 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. |
