As Andrew mention's, the HEQ5 not being quite big enough to handle that skywatcher OTA I totally agree...EQ6 minimum IMHO.
An alternative...(& it's only a thought) There is a second-hand EQ6 in here for sale (or was, last time I looked for a grand) If you could get hold of just the OTA....weather it's A GSO or Vixen or skywatcher is yet to be determined, yes?
Food for thought.
