Will let you know how I go.

I spent a lot of time hacking with the code to get it running with the ASI120MC-S and publishing it to my website.

However, on the GitHub repo, there is a pull request for someone who implemented a solution with the RPI camera (the older ones).
The API for the cameras are the same, just different parameter selections, so in theory, could be quite easily modified to get working.

Once I've bedded in my current solution, I'll try and see if I can run up an alternate version with the RPi HQ camera.

ps. where did you source the 1.55mm lens? I've ordered one off Anazon, but it was kind of expensive....
