Re: To Ethos, or not to Ethos...

I've barely glanced through the 13 Ethos, but quality time with the 8 Ethos in a 20" f/5 Obsession assures me the Ethoi are winners. The Ring Nebula @ 318X with the central star saying "Hello" was inspiring to say the least! My 5(4.9)-8SW needed at least 380~400X to see the central star, though it was more solid @ 518X than the Ethos. Neither the 8mm nor 5mm Hyperion had sufficient contrast/clarity to discriminate the central star at all! In the meantime the 20T5 is a keeper - even if I do eventually acquire a 13 Ethos.
