I have a Meade LX100 bought 14 years ago. No goto but it has electrical with siderial rate, (equatorial wedge) you can polar align it easily, and of course drift align, but why bother? Because the cheapo Meade imaging camera (DSI) I bought last year comes with this software called Autostar suite., which takes care of out of alignment scopes. Its a breeze to use.
The computer drives the camera, and after focussing etc, all you do is get an image of the object on the monitor and an option comes up to draw a box round a bright star for tracking. Draw the box then hit "GO" and the software will take each image and "stack" each image on top of the last one, and will align the image on the guide star. I have taken some images over 60 mins and when I stopped and reset, because of the imperfect scope alignment, the guide star was the other side of the screen.
. You dont need goto or GPS - just electric drive.
