I realize the choices of alternate guiding camera are limited because of the way the SXV-AO is designed but I have a QHY5L-II here which I am hoping will do the job.
Cheers!

The bottleneck might be your guider frame rate and sensitivity, not the software used. The lodestar will pick a guide star at a reasonable rate so you can guide at 0.2Hz. I had a QHY mono and it didn't. It wasn't a newer model though.
