What time of night were you observing and how long was it between the first observation with the Morpheus and the Radian? The reason I ask is that I too was observing around 9:30 to 10:30pm but only Mars which was lower left of the Moon. I started with my TV-60 and Tele Vue 4-2mm Nagler zoom. Seeing was poor but no false colour with one hemisphere showing darker than the other. Exit pupil and image size was small so I switched to the TV-101 and same eyepiece. It was a bit easier to see the disk at 270x with the same eyepiece as opposed to 180x on the smaller refractor. (Mars was 6.8 arcsec and I have observed features below 5 aresec, (by features I mean distinguishing light from dark on the surface).
Anyway after a few minutes of observing the effects of atmospheric refraction took hold dramatically with false colour starting to show on the limb as the object got lower in the sky. Perhaps the same was happening by the time you observed the Moon with the DeLite, (Did you check immediately with another eyepiece?).
