I won a Meade filter at RMSS (great event, guys!). The issue: I have
no Meade eyepieces. I have a Sirius and a Televue. I read in
"Astronomy Hacks" that Meade threads their filters and eyepieces
different from other companies.
However, I tried the filter, and it threaded smoothly onto both my
eyepieces.
You would think that would answer my question about the threading
issue, but I'm curious if anyone has any knowledge of this? Did Meade
once thread their filters differently? Do they still? If so, how come
they thread so nicely on my non-Meade eyepieces?
