O.k then guys, let's see if I have this right?

The Meade OTA weighs in at 16.4kg.
The following MAXIMUM EQ6 weight load bearing capacities(minus counterweights?) have been quoted here and on various websites including Skywatcher :

25kg, 20kg, 18kg

So, for planetary viewing at occasional high power (depending on seeing and/or weather), the MEADE 12 INCH LX2OO OTA with a star diagonal with a chunky eyepeice and maybe a small findersope or Telrad, mounted on the EQ6 PRO should be fine?

Am I correct in the assuming this ?

Cheers,

Rob.
