What lightweight mount can be autoguided?

Hi,

I'm back in the astrophotography hobby after a few years.  I have a 6" F4 Newton scope with a 50mm finder I can use to autoguide.

I'm looking for a portable, lightweight mount (I cannot lift too heavy weights) that can be autoguided and is easy to use.  I see there's an iOptron Skyguider Pro but my scope is too heavy for it.

My budget is about £1,000.  What would you recommend?  Thank you.

Cheers

I had one for visual work, HEQ 5 Pro by Sky Watcher, a solid mount that would carry about 11-12kg for photography, a few people on here produce first class images using a verity of cameras, including DSLR's. I am sure there are other mounts too.
