Take a look at the Vixen Polarie or Ioptron Skytracker. A google search with get you lots of info. The skytracker is on sale at B&H for $320 now, that's $50 less than last week.
Both are good for wide field and there are examples of many 100-200mm lenses used. generally they are limited to 100mm for longer exposures due to weight limit and accuracy. Ioptron have released a larger version that is styled after their very good ZEQ25 telescope mount (same gears but no DEC motor) Its called the Skyguider. Not much info to be found yet but I have been emailing their support with questions and have decided that mine will arrive in time for my Feb birthday:) It has a great load rating and can track very well with larger lenses, camera and grip. I suggest you google these 3 and look over the many examples and reviews and pick one that best matches your goals. iOptron
Good luck and Clear Skies as they say!
