Records verified findings from a credentialed read-only recon of the iTelescope portal (2026-07-18) in state/NOTES.md: the WebForms login flow, the /DataService.svc JSON endpoints (GetAccountStatus, GetMyAvailablePlans, ApplyPromoCode), the per-telescope ACP web servers behind HTTP auth (tNN.itelescope.online / tNN.itelescope.net:80NN, confirmed on T33), the Planner redirect to lookup.itelescope.online, and the per-site weather URLs. Credentials themselves stay outside the repo. state/TODO.md gains the next automation steps (map ACP endpoints, explore the new planner, enumerate more DataService methods) and a campaign-impact note: most Chile scopes plus several others are currently offline, including recommended T71 and T73, so near-term work should target T33/T8/T32/T59 at Siding Spring and status must be re-checked before any booking.

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
- (nothing)
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.
