+1 what B said Epistle
The 12" is way into the red (and over) for an EQ6 for astrophotography + its so heavy the metal tube can't reliably hold the light path and focuser orientation without significant flexure. Clive (Alchemy) has commented on the woes he encountered with this type of configuration in other threads here if you search.
10" risky, 8" much more manageable for setting up and learning. The scope you can handle is the one you'll be setting up and pulling down all hours of the night too remember (rather than leaving in the cupboard 'cause its all too hard.....)
