hello,
Really worth the outlay in the purchase of an Ethos eyepiece as compared with another that provides 82 º apparent field?
Entire field is usable to 100 °?
I read somewhere that the experience is fabulous, it's a WOW!, But I've also read that it is not usable at all those 100 degrees, and some people said that "their" limit is the 72 th ..
Has anyone been able to compare some of these eyepieces?
a greeting

I purchased an Explore Scientific 14mm 100° eyepiece last summer and enjoyed it a lot more than expected. There is a definite "wow" factor when you can just barely see the edge of the field. There is a very tiny amount of false color on bright objects near the edge of the field, but not a problem in my opinion. Now I've also purchased the ES 9mm 100°.
