Ethos vs High end planetary eyepieces.....Hmmm
      10/02/08 07:35 AM

It seems that these Ethos eyepieces are getting excellent reviews on planetary performance, as well as widefield. If this is in fact an accurate assessment, why would one spend close to or more on a narrow field planetary eyepiece, such as AP, Zeiss, Pentax or TMB? I realize that some people like a narrower fov for critical detail observing, but if an eyepiece performs well in both categories, wouldn't it make sense to seriously consider it?

The reason for this post, is that I came close to bidding on an 8mm AP SPL on AM, but started thinking about the multi use of the 8mm Ethos. Rarity, was not factored in.
