ASTRO: Ethos 13mm eyepiece
Here's a close-up of the proto-type Ethos 13mm eyepiece. Several internet
'stores' are reporting that this eyepiece will go on sale on September 15th 2007. Everyone who looked thru the Ethos was impressed. They had it on the Televue 127mm refractor, and a number of big Dobs, including an Obsession 25 and a 32-inch ATM scope. George N PS: Where do I send my check? |

Rick, If you had a TV 127is you would probably buy one of those new 9000 cameras with the giant chips....... ....and then you'd need a tower with about 10 hard drives to store all of the raw image files! My problem is that my head is big enough that I *can* use two Ethos in a bino-viewer! Guess I'll have to order a pair..... George N |

George N I've never used a bino-viewer, just binoculars but did look through a pair of 6" ones a guy up here took from a Japanese bunker. Damn those were great! I don't have two matched eyepieces to put in one. Besides the Ethoses I'd need two astigmatism removers as well as I have severe astigmatism and I doubt it's eye relief allows me to wear glasses and see the entire FOV. At least they are a lot cheaper than the eyepiece itself. -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh". |

Rick, I just bought the OCS lens I need to get the Denk bino's that Kopernik owns to work on my 20" F/5. I had used them a little on the 20RC, C-14, and 6" F/12 refractor. I thought it would just be a "novelty" to be used for an hour or so at Stellafane. However people would not let me take them off the scope so they ended up on the thing for most of two nights. I especially liked the guy who said: "Can I go and get my wife to see this?" Sure enough he was back with her about 20 minutes latter, trying to convince her to buy bino's! When I asked if anyone had looked thru a "real" binocular telescope no one had. However, John Stiles (of OGS) said that he just got a call from someone who wanted to pay him to repair a JMI 6-inch "pair" so he said that he would let me know if they are as good as people report.
