Congratulations and commiserations, Stephen!!

It will be worth the wait. I had another session last night under excellent conditions and my jaw was in the "dropping" position. Simply stupendous.

One interesting test was Mars, which was well positioned last night as far as the maze of houses blocking my northern-eastern horizon is concerned. The Ethos produced wonderfully sharp views of Mars with a number of darker markings very clearly defined. It does well as a medium power planetary eyepiece in the Mary Rose at about 195x.
