Unless you just do the guide corrections through the standard PC <--> Gemini interface.

I use a webcam + GuideDog to autoguide my GM8. It talks through the standard RS232 interface, hence not needing the shoestring adaptor.

It would be better to use the shoestring adaptor, but it is not required.

Better why? Faster response times and it leaves the PC interface free to stay connected for other software.
