Thanks Paul and Marcus. Interesting that you both saw green.. I can just see what you are referring to on my monitor. I've tweaked it a tiny bit.. any more and the magenta looks too strong to me?:

hmm.. that would bother me! i have some software issues to sort out before I can achieve the level i'm aiming for but hopefully not firmware issues!

I think ACP Scheduler (and external web interface for other users) is the difference. I'm not familiar with CCDAP but I assume you have to fire it up each night and give it a plan to work with? ACP Scheduler allows you to load a whole bunch of targets with priorities and constraints and it does the rest - optimising time on each target each night and opening and closing and re-opening observatory along the way (based on sales description - I haven't got that far yet). Early days for me yet..
