With poor PA, guiding will help keep everything sharp but have slightly more adjustments. Great PA overall will have everything sweet.
You don't need a guidescope to use Sharpcap PA, in fact you shouldn't because rarely is a guidescope pointed in the exact place as the imaging scope. You use your imaging camera through Sharpcap PA, simple. Use OAG for guiding if you wish, but not required for PA. Now this works fine for all the modern cameras supported by Sharpcap, not sure about dinosaur DSLRs.
