Writing an ASCOM-based application to work with any camera would be a simple enough task, but the QHY PoleMaster is covered by Chinese patent. Aside from that, PoleMaster and the supplied software costs around the same as a low-end guiding camera.

The software needs a couple of minor tweaks for usage at the SCP, but why hack something together and disregard patent when you could be supporting a company which is delivering affordable imaging products to the Australian market?
