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. -------------------- John "Have eyepiece - will travel!" 8" f/5 Dob w/2.14" sec in a 12" alum tube 'The Mortar' - w/PCorr 2° TFoV @ 36.5X ~70% illum *NICE* Typical eyepieces: 32 Burg, 24 Pan, 20T5, 5-8 SW, Others ALL 2": Pcorr, 2X PwrMt, Ast H-b, Lum UHC + OIII 60mm $50 Walmart Special in training - aka "Backpack Observatory" Minolta Activa 12x50 , Steiner 15X80 Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on To Ethos, or not to Ethos...
