10" Newt on EQ6???

Hi Guys,

Has anybody got experience in imaging with a DSLR on 10" Newton f/4 on a NEQ6 mount? The max payload is about 20kg for that mount and I think good practice is to stay at about half that. But I am keen on more aperture and wonder whether I'm limited to 8" or could go 10". I would like to use it with a 2.5x Powermate and a Paracorr plus miniguider and a DSLR.

Too ambitious for that mount? I'm after Galaxies.

Cheers,
