HEQ5, EQ6 or CGX mount

Planning to upgrade to an EQ mount in the near future (from a Star Adventurer), thought I might check here first if anyone has one collecting dust or wanting to fund an upgrade I don't mind some battle scars!

I'm particularly interested in a HEQ5, EQ6, or CGX. But other alternatives considered.

Cheers

I have a HEQ5 but it’s a non-go to version if that’s of any interest.

I can't help with a mount, however if you decide to offload your Star Adventurer I would be keen on that :-)

Can it be controlled by a computer instead and support autoguiding? At this stage I think I would prefer go-to capabilities, but I'll consider it if nothing else pops up

I have seen people manage auto guiding by modifying the hand controller but it’s not what you’re looking for Definitely cannot be computer controlled
