Or perhaps I should just try it?

Its all explained here :-
http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/kDGITGR...%20Guiding.pdf
but to quote from the article:-
ST4 Guiding
• Advantages:
– Available in All EQMod Connection options
• Disadvantages:
– Rate changes will require re-calibration
– Can not be combined with PEC
Pulse Guiding
• Guide commands sent via EQMOD
• Advantages:
– Variable rate pulse guiding
– Modify/modify pulse control on the fly
– Combine with PEC
• Disadvantage:
– Can only work with EQDIRECT configuration
– Too many variables (things to remember)
EQMOD and Gemini pulse guiding apparently operate the same AFAIK
