So given those choices I would go for the Ethos 6mm. Then get yourself the 2" Antares 1.6x barlow and you have 4 wide field magnifications: x41 x66 x88 x141 The Antares is nice because it is very short compared to the other 2" barlows, so it keeps the barlow/eyepiece configuration at a reasonable length. -------------------- Mounts: CGEM, ORION SIRIUS, AT Voyager/motorized SCTs: C6, C8, C9.25, C11, Refractors: TV Pronto, Orion ED80 Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 10 registered and 13 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
