Why I Might just Stick with a CCD...

Great shot Maurizio!
I can definitely tell it would be great to stack multiple shots of this quality...

By the way, where in Coconut Creek are you located? We could be neighbors... wink

Clear skies to you!

Russ, IMHO it is a combination of multiple variables the ones that would allow you to SEE color in M42...

Excellent Steady Skies
Transparency
Dark Adapted eyes
Viewing comfort (like the one given by binoviewers)(or using an eye-patch)
Scope Aperture

To all this add that every person is different, and some could be more color-sensitive than others, and that could very well explain why some see colors and some don't...

Don't worry if THEY don't believe it... you are lucky to be able to see them, enjoy them! wink

Clear skies all!
