my blue will never be your blue, and we will never successfully convince one another that one see's a better blue.

no worries amigo
What color are the stars?
For me they've always been blue, with a few yellows thrown in for variety.
My sister saw them all as green.
An xgf saw mostly yellows.
That showed me that vision, perhaps the least variable of the senses, is different from person to person.
lol, I used to have these llaammee arguments with an xgf.
"That's purple."
"NOOO, that's blue, you buttwit!"
I never call anyone buttwit, so obviously it was purple.

for some reason I am absolutely mesmerized by arcturus. I see most stars as faint whitish-yellow, but many red dwarfs, in their true red's. Green, eh?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPTluA7PmMI&feature=related I see this star out my backyard 10x more vivid every night. Doesn't the light dimming mean planets?

If a recall correctly if it twinkles it's a star (thanks Beethoven). Starlight is a single photon stream due the the distance. The twinkling is the stream being interfered with by the atmosphere. Planets on the other hand are disc shaped and therefor don't twinkle. They're also naturally bright in appearance due to their closeness.

I'd like to know with what optics that guy recorded the star. it ooks like a telescope was involved.
I especially like it when Sirius (alpha C Maj) is low-low on the horizon. It throws positively spectral colors like a giant diamond, or some very big slow bright distant disco ball. On cold clear windy nights it positively boils with colors. On hazier nights with a quiet atmosphere, the color-twinkle effect can be ssllooww.
Planets aren't point sources but small area sources. They generally don't twinkle, but on a night of "bad seeing", when the atmosphere is unquiet, they can sort of shimmer a bit.

No telescope there! I would say a 10x zoom, at the most. It appears huge in the night sky.
That sounds about right guys, A planet would seem to hardly effect the light of a massive star, unless the planet was huge. But sometimes this star will dim completely away like it turned off, and flashed back on minutes later. I guess our atmosphere and dark matter could be to blame for this.
