I can see Al Nagler and I have a common interest ( getting the most out of our set ups )

John, The 4.7mm Ethos design.

Calvin it sounds to me like you need to get both the 6mm & the 10mm and also keep the 13mm and the powermate

Yes Calvin......I find it much easier than parting with my own  Having said that I have spent over £1k this month on my "doesn't matter if its cloudy Hobby"

I have the set of all 8 of the Ethos, but I tend to use them in sets.

On nights where seeing is not as good, I use the 21--13--8 troika.

On nights where the seeing is better, I use the 17-10-6 troika, and those are my favorite FLs in the Ethos line.

And when seeing is magnificent and I want to do lunar/planetary/double star work at ridiculous powers, the 4.7mm and 3.7mm come into play.

(the 3.7 allowed me to see a dark spot on Neptune not that long ago).

But if you have the 13mm, keep it.  It will always be useful.  Just add the 6mm to the kit for when you'd like to have that magnification.

Still feeling a little guilty about that

 

And well you should

I certainly have the wrong scope to advise in this case and am sorely lacking the expertise - but to know someone is out there contemplating selling a 13E to get a 6E is gut-wrenching, for me... (have both, will not part)
