G'day Les and party,

What an awesome reply! The notebook has now filled up several more pages (Thank you)-

Woke up this morning praying the scope had grown a few inches. Nope.

Around 1am last night the clouds had cleared so with no cool down time I set up and dragged the girlfriend out to have a look at Orion - she could see the pale green too (she's telling me now more bluey than green??-will get a re-check next clear night though). What's amazing is she has quite average eyesight. A couple of years younger than I, further proving the age theory.

I believe to have read somewhere that the TV eyepieces exhibit a bit of green when compared to the Pentax if recalling correctly. The Pentax being the truest colour... What EP's are you guys using on the low power?

Spent half a night on the Tarrantula a little while back, missed the blue with the 8" but hanging for another try.

Surely the full 27mm field stop lit up to 100% is another factor?? Les?

PS: The 'Mary Rose' looks impressive Rod!
