It just occurred to me that you might have an HEQ5 not an HEQ5 ProGoto.
Does it have a Synscan hand controller, or just a motor speed hand controller? You don't see many HEQ5s, so I presumed that it was the
GOTO version. All HEQ5 GOTOs connect to an autoguider through the
ST4 port to the right of the power on/off switch.
DARV is relatively quick, and easy after a few goes.
Manual guiding in these days of dozens, scores, or even hundreds of exposures for one image
is for the birds. Fine back in the days of film.
