If the weather is anything like here you need to forget you even have the eyepiece and don't look at the clouds. Its the only way you are going to get clear skies. Some sort of ritualistic chant may help.
The opposite of the rain dance, lol.
Am very impressed with this ocular Darryl, without looking at the stars.
Decades of film photography with top quality lenses taught me about
something I would describe as the 'drawing quality' of a lens. The ability to reproduce delicate skin tones, eg, as real as it gets. Ziess, and top Canon lenses have that quality, and so does the Ethos.
A fine lens is not just about contrast and definition, but how it delivers
it in image quality. The Ethos delivers it in spades.
