Have to agree with Tony, all I did was a Drift Align and on startup, look at the A & E numbers, if your DA was reasonably good, then that is all you will need. (Your going to have learn all this)
The Gemini is quite happy be a few degrees out of alignment, you build up a model using Additional Aligns, and it soon works out where you are and will easily put the object near the center of the eyepiece.
Save your money for the "D" series dovetail plates you are going to need.
Use a GPS by all means to give you your Lat and Long and UTC Time but you can input them manually, using GCC (Gemini Control Center) or by attaching to the Gemini control box, you have to make sure you have the correct attachment.
Get the manual from here:
