Hey There,

I use my Nikon D40 with my WO66mm Petzval with relative success (Still learning the ropes). I ordered two parts from scopestuff.com, which were:

* Part TASL 2" SCT T-adapter
* Part TTSR Spacer ring

Both can be found here: http://scopestuff.com/ss_tadpt.htm

Here are some examples of my shots with this configuration. Petzval was mounted on an 8" LX200 with Milburn wedge.

Like I said, I am a newbie so much room for improvement. But I like what I have been able to do with my Nikon D40 and WO66 Petzval thus far. There is a fair bit of vignetting with this scope so be sure to take flat frames!

Cheers,
Phil

Hello Again,

Okay, I tried buying a new cable, but still see the issue. I have messed around with different settings but still see the interference. I attached a screenshot.

Any other ideas? Trash the camera? (Bought it second-hand here in Amart)

Cheers,
Phil
