You will be marginal for weight. I have a 10" on an EQ6 but I rebuilt it into a lightweight Serrurier Truss configuration which nearly halved it's mass.
If yours is solid tube it will need to be very well balanced and sheilded from any breezes to be viable. Might be worth considering buying a lighter weight guidescope package, the SW80 is not the lightest beast out there. Bintel I think have the 50mm mini guider setup.
