The obvious question is go to actually what you are after. You say you want star tracking, by that I assume you mean once you find an object, it keeps the object in the field?
Or are you after something that will find objects for you and then you manually move the scope to keep the object in the FOV?
A fully motorised systems such as Sky Watcher do will do both but if you are after the latter, what you need is a push to system such as Argo Navis. They are easy to install (I have done it on 2 of my scopes, a GSO 12" and the 20") and fairly inexpensive to buy, at least compared to an EQ mount.
