Some individuals simply see better in the dark. Others always need some illumination to see.[I remember someone who was amazed that I could look up the chart number in my Uranometria atlas with only the light from the sky--he couldn't see the black ink on the page and could barely make out the outline of the book. We were both amazed at each other's vision. ]

Still, Mauro's logic is inescapable. I suspect the truth lies somewhere between the conclusions of the researchers and the experience of astronomers. But how to set up a test........

My night vision has always been superb (even at 60); it's my day vision that sucks.
