    Hello,

    does anyone here know if I can adapt an AO-8 to a STL-11000-XM?

    I'd think the window on the AO-8 would be too small.

    You could put an AO-X on it. Use the ACC10 STL to SC-3 adapter, https://diffractionlimited.com/product/stl-to-starchaser-adapter/

    Since the mount is the same on the AO-X and StarChaser, you should be able to just bolt it on. If you're using the built-in guide chip in the STL that will work - just plug it in to the camera.

    If you need an external guider then you'll want a StarChaser SC-3 also.
