Hi everyone, I very much appreciate all of your input.
Allan – afford Ethos? One day, but not just yet. I’ve got a few more decades of observing ahead of me (hopefully!), so if I went straight to the Ethos where would I go to afterwards? I can’t peak too early! I do like the idea of starting off with the Nagler as well. I’m worried if I went straight from Plossl AFV to an Ethos AFV I’d fall in through the eyepiece!
MalcolmH – I do like the idea of the 13mm Nagler but I think the eye relief of the 12mm appeals to me a bit more. I like the adjustable eye guard function as well. Plus the 12mm will provide me almost an extact 1 degree FOV (not much of reason but I enjoy the round number!).
I was also looking at the Panoptic as well (mainly 22mm). I’ve read nothing but outstanding reviews. The reason I think the 17mm Nagler will be a better option though is because it will provide almost the same size FOV plus increased magnification.
As for the higher weight of particular eyepieces – at what point does that become an issue?
