Find a Skywatcher All-View mount. It’s a compact altaz with steppers and a full SynScan handset and the handset has pano mode and functions for what you do, as well. The only weak point is the tripod which is quite flimsy (when slewing the tripod wobbles like jello ) but replace that with say a Berlebach Report, and it works well.

It’s also able to power from dry cells, so no need to lug a huge battery.

Typical skywatcher - ugly as heck, but it works.

NB I had one some years ago and stupidly sold it which I regret.
