I’m looking at adding a celestron CG-4 + some kind of motorization upgrade to my “to-buy” list in the future, and i’m looking at the Onstep V4 Upgrade Kit to mechanize it for tracking & automatically finding night sky objects. Does anyone have any experience or information about it?

If anyone has alternatives feel free to send them my way - the Celestron-made upgrade would work just fine, but I’m also trying to figure out if I can get one that can also automatically slew to an object on a budget. (The CG-4 Mount + an upgrade totals about $580 - $600, cheaper than most mechanized equatorial mounts)

I'd rather look for a deal on a used EQ5 Pro or even HEQ5, you can get those for about 500$ if you're lucky
