If the camera you want to control is your guide cam, not your principal imaging cam, you could get away with guiding with it. Ascom doesni't use much but planetarium programs generally do. Choose an ASCOM - compatible program that has low-res graphics like Cartes de Ciel and you should be OK. You'll have to do your primary imaging either wholly in-camera or on a separate machine I would think. I have tried to run Nebulosity on my EeePC and it takes forever to download images because they're 40-50MB at a time and the system just can't cope with that and the load of guiding.
