funny you should say that.
I have looked at the Orion nebula for instance, through my 8"
and to me it is shades of grey.
I took a pic with my canon a590is and the clouds are a blueish tint.
I used the webcam and they are greyish.
so i bought a CCD camera.

all because i thought they were red.
i got this idea from a pic i saw in an astronomy book.
so i didn't trust my eyes as they are aging.
I didn't trust the webcam cause I didn't pay to much for it.
I didn't trust the canon as the primary lens is removed.
all because of an impression that said it was red.

so i am with you on this one.
what is wrong with what the eye see's.
