Not impossible, just lots more effort to the point of discouragement.
I do have a eq5pro and it does have PEC. It also provides reasonable pointing performance with an ed80 or C6 sct. I aim to also use a c8 sct on it for planets. But it can only handle 9.xKg. The heq5 is obviously better but the eq5 is still ok.
