hey mate, the HEQ5 is extremly similar looking to the EQ6, and has always had goto functionality. if the mount has a DB9/RS232 port then you don't need the syntrek hand controller, all you need is a connection that will turn DB9/RS232 signals to USB and vis versa. all the controller serves to do is pass commands though to the box.

My reccomendation to you though is to wait till the mount arrives then assess the situation.

If it does have the ports i have spoken about its as simple as getting a cable called EQDir or equivalent.

if it does not then im sorry to say it will not work.
