An ST80/QHY5 for guiding is a popular, cheap, compact and light combo for guiding. Mine works very well. I mounted it on top of an ED80 (not side by side, all the adaptor plates can get heavy). The EQ6 pro would seem ideal too.

Once tracking is set up and going, it will stay locked until you hit the horison or meridian. Ive gone up to 6hrs unattended for objects near the southern pole.
