Does anyone know why the threads on the back of my scope appear to be 44mm instead of normal sct thread? Meade doesn't seem to know even though they built it? Thank's, Bob.

This is a normal SCT. The only reason for this would be if someone has removed the threaded colar on the rear port exposing different threads. This is all I can thing of since the normal threads are 2-inch 24 tpi.
