It's been interesting reading these posts, and I thank you all for sharing.
Esp. interesting they way different people seem to see a bit differently and opt for one or other of the anti-CA filters, so it appears that a personal test is required to see which better suits me. Since I am one of those who see green in the Great Orion Neb it will be interesting finding out how me eyes respond to the filters.
Brian I have been considering the Radians as perhaps the best 'budget' quality ep so I take your advice as reinforcement of my own decision.
I have been considering that UO 100/1100 refractor as perhaps an excellent mid sized achro that would make reasonably easy viewing over a shorter scope on an eq mount - at least I can sit down more, rather than bend over most of the time :-). And it seems to be a reasonably well made scope/fittings, tho I am not certain the diagonal comes up to the quality of a TV or Zeiss (nothing much does except another TV or Zeiss). So that will be an additional cost - but what's new there?
I reckon I will be on the market in a few weeks time for a FK or Semi-Apo if the CA is too annoying.
Thx again for you input guys.
