According to my Vixen Skysensor 2000 operator’s manual, for stars, planets, DSO’s etc., a discrepancy of a few minutes (of time) is not really significant in terms of GoTo accuracy. That is, for placing an object in the field of view of the eyepiece.
However, if you want to track the ISS and satellites then I think highly accurate GPS time and coordinates are required.
