No not really. A good photographic filter combination is a CLS stacked with a Semi-Apo filter and exposure longer. That's a pretty heavy CA killer.

As for stopping down, yes that reduces the CA but may as well use a smaller scope so I don't bother as I already have an ED80.

This is the prawn nebula single frame with a CLS / Semi-Apo combination stacked onto each other. There's not much CA left.
