Caveat all this assumes that I remembered the formulas, created the
Excel
expressions, input the data and transcribed the results, all correctly.

I come up with Thrust 1 = .25g (which is why I prefer 450 second/7.5
minute
turns, that gives you 1 thrust at 1g = 1000km displacement on that turn)

.5 AU = 75 000 000 000m

t = sqrt (d/.5a) = sqrt (75 000 000 000/(.5 * 2.5)) = 244989 sec = ~ 68
hours to go .5AU at thrust 1.

Your speed relative to your start point is 612km/sec.

Just for fun, let's go 60 AU (across Neptune's orbit from one side to
the,
accelerating all the way, diving straight through the sun, and not
worrying
about relativistic effects) -- how long does that take?  31 days.
