I just wanted to say thank you for making ACP Scheduler (and all that goes with it: ACP, PinPoint, ACP Planner, etc.)
available.

I'm still climbing the learning curve, but I now can give large target lists and plans to telescopes...and Scheduler maximizes data-collection.

My previous work only involved long time-series of one or two targets a night. Now I'm hosting some AAVSOnet telescopes. We've successfully run target lists with 2,000 entries...and Scheduler slows down...but it doesn't break! Amazing!

Currently the Bright Star Monitor is covering hundreds of targets a night:

The future looks bright for backyard science.

Thanks again!
