Is there a simple way to share Astro cameras across software - like a hub?

[g__day (Matthew)]

Hi all,

Just wondering - is there an an ASCOM equivalent of a POTH or Device Hub for cameras - so one bit of software can see all the cameras and share them across software that may wish to periodically use them?

My use case is TSX doing Closed Loop Slews (CLS) with my largest scopes camera used to centre a target. Once the CLS completes successfully I then disconnect the camera in TSX and let APT have exclusive access for it to run my imaging plan.

Alternatively I could remove TSX from the goto slews and let APT or SGP manage slews, plate solves and target centring - but I have found TSX does it better - and maintains scopes and dome alignment well. SGP I have had some partial success on gotos and then I will try APT.

Over time I might just shift everything to N.I.N.A. to control absolutely everything.

But until that day is there any hub that can share a ZWO 1600MM astro camera so I don't have to manually stop APT and SGP imaging runs, stop PHD auto guiding - jump into TSX - take over the main camera - do a CLS - relinguish control of the camera, restart PHD guiding (recalibrating if needed) the restart APT and SGP imaging plans?

Thanks,

Matthew
