OK on the review. It is possible..with a MMOAG and RGH.... pre-filter AO guiding will work....but back-focus may be a nightmare.

Yep I'm getting the "before/after" bit...and yes the acceleration of AO-X is apparently better...we shall see!

I assume it needs an STXL or STX camera to use it as it works through the cameras' electronics to control the mount?
It looks like a very nice unit and I'd love to see the results before and after at long focal length as well.

AO is autonomous to the mount. The camera head (read: STX STXL )does indeed control it, but can also "bump" the mount once a user defined level of AO deflection is detected. Pretty clever stuff really.

Maybe sooner than many think...
