I tend to agree that the 12" is way too big for an EQ6. I have just come back into astronomy after a five year break, and am amazed and what people think this mount can carry! I reckon an 8" newt is stretching things a bit far on the EQ6. I recently bought the EQ6 to carry my 5" refractor - previously it was undermounted on a Vixen SP-DX. OK for visual and light winds. The scope is now ideally mounted with the EQ6, and if I ever upgrade to a 6" refractor, I will get a bigger mount.
