No. The FWG-STXL only supports 50mm filters.

The STX uses 65mm (ok..just to confuse the issue, you can also use a 50mm, seven position carousel...but you can no longer use the internal guide chip)

Certainly an (unfiltered) AO-X solution with the STX is the remote guide head and a MMOAG, but as I am near the limit of the RHA backfocus with the FW5+AOx+STX, it wouldn't work for me on that scope.
