Hi All,
I have been seeing some colour in M42 through a variety of telescopes for a long time. In the inner areas predominantly cyan/turquoise. In my 12" and much more strongly the 18", in the wings under a dark sky there are subtle blues and in the 18, the outer areas seem to me to be weakly russet in colour (ie a pinky-brown).
But here is the question I want to ask (no it's not pointed, nor is it a trick question) Take a look at M43. Here in my 18" I see colour too (no hints) Do you see any colour in M43?
Best,
L.
