Not really

It'll depend on how good your polar alignment is, how accurately the mount tracks, how bad the periodic error is...you won't know that until you try it. Each individual mount is different. And a C6 with focal length of 1500mm is pretty demanding, even for an experienced imager (since the focal length essentially magnifies any tracking errors).

Contrary to popular belief, there is no perfect mount, at any price...folk pay more for better engineering, but if you ask any of the master imagers in here they're all guiding, regardless of how expensive their mount is.

Guiding is always something you can jump into later...
