No, except the chemotherapy drugs one of my friends was taking. Strangely, I never saw the colors through my 20", it seems it is more a phenom of seeing conditions than equipment.
A memorable experience was looking out over the ocean during a clouded out eclipse on seeing dolphins and whales jumping out of the water through my scope. On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 3:57 PM, <erikhansen@thebluezone.net> wrote:

Yes, but you've had the keys to the drug locker, haven't you...or at least worked with people who did... ;-)
I've always said that the most amazing thing in the universe that I've ever seen, I didn't see through a telescope. It had NOTHING to do with astronomy. My eyepiece experiences pale before it, memorable though they may be.

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. It made me feel more a part of the universe than anything else I have ever experienced. And I gained a new respect for women because of it.
I maintain that males are the inferior gender. We are lucky that women put up with us. If we didn't earn a paycheck, do yardwork, empty the cat-box, and take the garbage out, we'd be kept in cages wearing loincloths, until "needed". _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
