Like the image, but don't know what your concerns about weight are all
about; My HEQ5 carries a payload as heavy as yours, maybe a little heavier, just fine. Your 6 shouldn't be troubled in the least.
Mine carries 8" f/5 Newt, electric focuser, 9x50 finder, 80mm achro, DSLR, and my D.I.Y. tube rotating device.
There was a member posted here a few weeks ago who is imaging happily with a 10" f/4 on his HEQ5. That's over the stated visual limit for the mount.
