If you're hoping to do deep sky imaging, I think once you add cameras, guiding gear, and all the other bits and bobs required for deep sky imaging, you'd need something like a Losmandy G11 as a minimum... Even then, in a breeze you might get a case of the wobbles... An EQ6 Pro would probably hold the weight, but I would be skeptical of its performance with that much load and the long moment arm of a 12" F/5 newtonian... be it tube or truss setup..
I hate to sound like a kill joy, but thats pretty much the facts.. I loaded an EQ6 with an 11" SCT + guider/cameras/extras etc and found it VERY difficult to get a decent image out of it... I dropped back to an 8" RC telescope and the results started pouring in.. Its all about weight...
If you were hoping to do planetary imaging - forget everything I said above... It'll be right as rain... just make sure its balanced well..
