The AO-X will be great for L frames...but admittedly not so good for say, H-alpha in this configuration.

The 11002/6803 STXL self-guide CFW's are more compact, and are unaffected by filter selection.
Peter,

I asked because the SBIG site suggests that you need an OAG and remote guide to use the new AO unit with the STX. Am I missing something?
