Laurence c45d87c9d0 Rate card: per-scope Plan-40 points rates extracted from the portal
The UpdatePlan page embeds each telescope's dark-of-moon base rate in a
data-default-rate attribute; effective rate = base x (1 - plan
AccessDiscount from DataService.svc/GetMyAvailablePlans) x (1 - moon
discount from a server-side illumination table, not yet extracted). Records
the computed Plan-40 rates for all 25 listed scopes, the billing model
(points per imaging hour, billed per minute of exposure time, overhead
unbilled), the walk-in rule (idle scopes need no reservation; the ACP flow
is identical to the free scopes with points deducting), and the Cloudflare
constraint on the reservation planner.

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.
