Uranus / eyepieces
I saw Uranus for the first time over the weekend - I knew it was close to Venus so a quick search placed it in the eyepiece. Quite a thrill I have to say - and seeing Neptune for the first time a couple of months ago was also a highlight.
One question though - It could have been because it was so close to Venus, or quite low to the horizon (or both) but Uranus appeared quite brown (no joke intended here!). How should it normally look colour-wise?
All I need now are some quality eyepieces... trying to decide between saving for the 13mm Nagler t6 and the 13mm Ethos. At double the price it's a tough choice! Whichever I choose I'll keep it for life but other than field of view is there any significant benefit in getting the Ethos over the Nagler for a 10" dob at f/5? In terms of future-proofing my eyepiece collection, is it really that much BETTER (+$500!)?
