guys have a question for you all, tonite looking at m42 in a 9.25 scope and a vixen 102ed m42 seemed to have color. lots of blue and green colors, thought for a second or two, i saw faint colors of pink, is this possible skies where awesome tonite very black and steady, so is this possible, my son saw it as well, i asked why tonite, didnt have the answer for him so i thought i would ask the experts

Word is that you can see some pink (blue and greens all "day" long), while I haven't heard of someone doing the pink in a 9.25, you saw what you saw. If it was your equipment or "averted imagination", it doesn't really matter IMO.
