I don't know that putting it on an EQ6 would be such a good idea for deep sky work, it might be too heavy for the accurate tracking required.
My 12" OTA weighs about 21kg.

Yes Mike I have followed Paul’s work
in fact it was seeing his images
that I thought about the idea in the first place
,
and seeing those images inspired me to design a mount to carry a 12 inch that I could build
..
You could say he started me thinking in the first place
.
Thanks for the weight figure.
