I can't image in strong wind and clouds either and I have a HEQ5. With strong wind, I take off the 150mm OTA and put something lighter on like an ED80.

Have you thought about getting an ED80 refractor? Second hand they are $350 - 500. Still lots of things you can image and the EQ3 won't be so heavily loaded, so not as affected by wind etc.
