The weird thing for me is I looked back thru my log book and the second time I took the scope out I had written "M42 some blue/green color?".. My (probably specious) theory is, since the two people I showed M42 who had never looked thru a scope before instantly saw color and I apparently saw it the second time out but never since, is that as my eyes have become better at dark adapting I am losing the use of some color receptors in favor of night-vision rods..
