I'm not sure Shaun.

Back when I had a non goto scope (20+ years ago ) I had an RA drive and separate drive corrector. If I was going to guide I had to do that manually, with adjustments in RA speed through the drive corrector and adjustments in Dec by the normal manual slow motion controls. There was no option to auto guide.

I think if you want to auto guide, you will probably need goto. I hope that if there are non-goto drives that can be auto guided someone who knows will chip in...
