I highly doubt it.

Guidemaster is effectively the same as GuideDog, in fact there's very few differences I can see on the face of it (happen to have both installed). I use GuideDog, just un-installed Guidemaster after finding it still here.

They both work on the standard windows interface to webcams, which the DSI and other long exposure cameras don't. The only long exposure cameras you can use with them (or GuideDog at least) is long exposure modified webcams.

I encountered all this recently when debating ways to autoguide my Losmandywith Gemini. I've ended up using my webcam & GuideDog, the combination works really well, you're just limited to bright stars. Using a DSI would be nice, but that'd mean quite a bit more work for me (hardware and software).
