Hi,

12 and 15kV 30mA transformers are pretty easy on caps so they should 
be fine.  I have run 15/30 NSTs on some pretty small caps 
before...   There is a nice chart here:

It is for 942 caps but the values are still correct.  The ideal value 
for a 12/30 is 9.9nF so you could use 15 caps.  It is not super 
critical though.

Cheers,

        Terry
