The nice thing about ACP is that the thing is fully automated, in that it will decide to even start an imaging run you don't even have to know about it. That's kind of rad.

It can sense when theres clear skies or not and make decisions to turn on the scope. Best i can tell ccdap cant.

Im going to play with ccdap for now. But acp scheduler looks like a real upgrade. Hopefully ccdap will add this type of program

you can use a skycam or cloud sensor to instruct the program to turn on the telescope. You can be asleep, it get's clear, the dome opens and goes. Kind of amazing.
