I know Mike does it, but I would definately NOT recommend putting a 12" dob on an EQ6.
They are a massive strain on the gears. It's not only the weight factor, it is more a thing called 'flexure'.
But go ahead if you have the cash to keep repairing the gears in the mount
At most, on an EQ6, a 10" would be very good.
But if your interest will be in DSO's, an ED80 is an excellent choice. Not very good visually, but the Bee's Knees Astrophotographically
