====== ACP Software Change Log ======

Found below are the changes made to ACP that are "custom" and must be implemented with each new installation or Upgrade of ACP.

===== June 27th 2017 =====

(aaa.js)
function main()
{
	// RAR = RightAscensionRate
	Console.PrintLine("Has RAR? " + Telescope.CanSetRightAscensionRate);
	Console.PrintLine("RAR=" + Telescope.RightAscensionRate);
}

According to the LCOGT driver RightAscensionRate is an available property which returns "true." However when the RAR is set... the LCOGT driver replies "input String in the wrong format"

In AcquireSupport.wsc a hard coded change was made to make this a fixed "false" so that no error occurs.

    If False Then
        c_haveTrackOffset = True
