Some Holes Just Need to be Filled! First Editorial Impression
We got our first peek through Tele Vue's latest Ethos, the 10-mm, and its
performance was truly as incredible as any in that growing family of hyperwide,
supremely-corrected, high-fidelity eyepieces. You'll have to try one in person
to understand the significance of Tele Vue's accomplishment - words cannot
capture the experience.

The 10mm Ethos delivers: 100° apparent field (50% larger in area than 82° Naglers), comfortable eye-relief, (accepts DIOPTRX eyesight astigmatism correctors), distortion correction, high contrast and on-axis sharpness for planetary viewing. It is the “do-it-all” eyepiece perfect for all scopes that can utilize this focal length. And, "filling the hole" between the 13mm and 8mm makes it the ideal centerpiece for a 17mm/10mm/6mm Ethos set. An important benefit of the combination of large apparent field of view and shorter focal length is that for a given field in the sky, higher magnification results in a darker sky background. Fainter stars become visible and more detail is seen on all deep sky objects. Ethos provides another big magnification/contrast jump, yielding dramatic views simply not previously possible in any telescope. With the smaller exit pupil, eyesight limitations are also reduced.
