Quite often the target objects might appear small, but their view of floating amongst the so many faint stars that the Ethos can reveal are definite show-stoppers. And not only in the 18", but also in my 4 and 3 inch refractors. Bright images with superb brightness and contrast. If I was to be deserted on an isolated tiny island with any of my telescopes and only one eyepiece, the Ethos 13mm would be my choice...
