I'm pretty sure it is, but could someone confirm please before I make the purchase?
Also, any tips in using it in the Ekos Alignment module?

I believe it is. But can not confirm.
I just use my guidescope for PAA. But a guide-cam with a 50mm CCTV lense will also do the trick of you are inclined to DIY.

I use Ekos Polar Align tool to align my EQ6 with RC 8" @ 1170mm or 1600mm using my QHY183m. Final error from polaris is between 0° 0' 0'' and 0° 0' 30''.
Polemaster is not necessary at all and Polemater application is old and conflict with other libraries

Regarding aligning with a small FoV scope (RC8 or like mine C8 @2000mm even with a larger sensor camera), unless you are reasonably (very) close to the pole, I assume that you need to iterate the polar alignment quite a few times to get closer and closer to the pole on each pass as the correction vector will extend well outside the FoV of the camera.

Any tips to share on making this easy?

Thanks.
