First chance tonight. Not a real test since I was using my cheap 4" f5 refractor. Standing on the table, it just absolutely dwarfs my 35mm Panoptic, and I thought the Pan was huge when I first bought it. The ES certainly is a handful. But first impression is good. No problem with finding the eye position to get a clean view. As with a 13mm Ethos I have looked through earlier, I cannot take in the field stop without moving my head around significantly. The view was being heavily limited by the significant limitations of this little refractor - probably will be Snake Valley Camp in early March before I can truly test it in my 12" f5 reflector. So far, feeling very positive. Bang for buck is looking very good!
