How much photography have you done, Ian, at prime focus or widefield?
Guiding is absolutely necessary for any decent astrophotography - whether it's widefield or longer FL. At shorter FL's your tracking or alignment errors aren't as noticeable but when you do long exposures it's essential.
You can certainly start without guiding but ultimately you'll need it if you want to take the best images your setup and skill will allow.
