I am assuming that the Starlight Express AO has undergone similar development. That is about all I can offer.
Thanks Paul,

Its your images in particular that have made me want to implement an AO.

I have been finding out more about it. It seems an AOX can be made to work with a MMOAG and an ST7XME or ST8XME guide chip as the guider in the MMOAG. I wonder about the weight and the space requirements of that setup though. An ST7XME might be pretty heavy as a guider. I wonder if it can be stripped down to bare necessity?

Greg.
