effect was very pronounced at twilight and the colour faded significantly as the skies darkened,

I wonder (having read the AS&T article) if this is due to the "cones" which perceive colour progressivley switching off as it gets darker in favour of the rods which are for night vision and do not perceive colour. the other thing I notice is I seem to have weaker perception of blue at night in particular so that may explain why I can see red/yellow stars and planets with ease but struggle on blues and greens.
I'm not really too worried as I never expected to see colour in nebulous objects anyway.. just a bit miffed when others go on about the wonderful shades of green/pink/magenta they are seeing (********!) :-)
Fringe-dweller, I have increasing floaters in my eye as well, particularly the eye I use for the telescope (dammit!), the optometrist told me most floaters are remnants of blood vessels?
