I agree that an EQ6 is not big enough, except for perhaps planetary imaging when there no no wind at all. I have a 12" f/4 on a PME and it handles it with ease. Perhaps a PMX or an AP on a good pier could handle it?
It's not just the weight that's the issue: the length and surface area make it tricky to maintain really good tracking, especially if you have some wind.
