Chuck, I agree, we should observe together. It would be good for me to see the advantages you see. The other observers are the folks here that you know. As for a color perception problem, the FAA is somewhat rigorous in their color perception tests. I have no problem passing any of them. I also have a series of color tests that you can bring up on your computer. If you'd like a copy of them let me know and I'll forward them to you. These old eyes of mine are seeing less color with fainter objects, though. Brent --- Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com> wrote:

Perhaps better said, I have never been able to see enough more to justify the use of the filter. So far, I have seen without a filter anything someone claims to be seeing with a filter. Add to that the increased fine detail in the image, and you have the reason I do not use filters.
We should observe together, not that I don't believe you, but who were the other observers? I need to put you to the test using the only standard I have- myself!
Having a set of filters gives you options. You don't have to use them all the time! But for that one time in fifteen or twenty when you think it would help, I prefer having that option.
Brent, I know you understand the science behind this, so I worry that perhaps you have a color perception problem that has gone undiagnosed... ;)
