I've used a 12 inch Newtonian OTA on the NEQ6 for visual only. I think you would be pushing it. For visual it is just about OK with no breeze. By the time you add tube rings, dovetail (wide dovetail instead of Vixen style vastly improves stability) and equipment you will, I think, be around the 25kg mark, for visual the combination was usable but I was never wholly satisfied with it. I'm not really an imager but I suggest that if a mount is being pushed for visual then it is unlikely to be a stable imaging platform.
