Can I connect the guide camera to the USB hub on the main imaging camera?

If you’ve read my attached notes it mentions to connect guide camera direct to laptop ( preferable) and try to avoid going through hubs and the like. But you can only try going through a hub as long as it’s a powered hub ( active ) not a passive hub ( unpowered) You have to eliminate any possible glitches with getting your PHD2 guiding up and running and hubs are just another weak link in a long chain of spurious issues that can present themselves. Personally I would cable direct to laptop, which is what I did and no issues in over 3 years of use
As far as the ASI290MM guide camera I haven’t come across any issues reading the various forums. It is USB2C connection on the camera end so try to keep your cable length 5m or less from guide camera to laptop
