Script to switch between MainCam and GuideCam?

I want to use my ASCOM Guidecam to target the object and then switch to the main cam (ASCOM) to start a series of images.
This script does not work. Command Guider.Close does not work. Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks, Nicolaus

Hi, the correct command would be "Guider.Disconnect", however in your code there is no need for it since the command "Camera.Disconnect" disconnects also the guider.

Thanks, but how can I select in a script the Guidecam to make an image?
Main and Guide camera are connected.
Which camera is selected with the command "Camera.Start(1)"?
Saluti, Nico

Sorry, after some searching and trials I found the solution. It is the command: Guider.ShortExposure
