Did you happen to try the Ethos with a Parracor?
Did it seem to need one?
Did it make a difference?
Just curious...
Thanks!

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the post.
We did and it did make some difference, but not enough to warrant leaving it
in. Obviously the shorter the focal length of the scope the greater the benefit.
I was talking to another Australian Ethos owner today on the telephone.
He had used the eyepiece on a variety of instruments including a C14
and a refractor. On the C14, the focal length was such that the Ethos
became an excellent planetary eyepiece. He said the views of Jupiter were
stunning.
Again, the description of it being "like looking out the port hole of a space ship"
came up during the conversation.
This is certainly one exciting eyepiece and provides an adrenaline rush
even when used on old familiar objects.
