I don't plate solve the OAG guide camera only the main imaging camera through the scope for T-Point. Oh are you referring to the idea of plate solving a cam attached to a Polar Scope.
The main problem would be making sure its mounted very squarely or it would introduce error.
It may not even need to be plate solved - just make it easier to see the stars, the Octans Trapezium stars. They are hard to see even at a dark site. But a plate solve would let you know where you are and where you need to go as The Sky X can overlay your image on the star chart.
