It very well could attach if you can mate the Losmandy dovetail (Presumeably a "D" type) to the EQ6. I mated my C9.25 with a Losmandy D dovetail to a Vixen Atlux by using the Takashi / Losmandy D connector (supplied from Bintel).
What does the head of your EQ6 look like - I had to remove the head of the Atlux (the vice taking a 40mm wide bar, connected by two screws 40mm seperated) and confirmed the Tak connector had holes 40mm apart (and takes the 100mm wide Losmandy D dovetail).

Hi,
No this is not what I am suggesting. I am suggesting I just throw the whole thing on the EQ6, alt/az base and all. I dont want to remove the OTA as I would never get it back again, the ALT/AZ arrangement is great for viewing but no good for imaging, and i cant be bothered using the celestron wedge. So I thought point the Scope straight up on the ALT/AZ arms, lock the clutch and throw the whole thing on the EQ6.
I just looked at the manual and it weighs 30kg. So maybe it wouldnt work
No harm asking though.
