The best way to test for colour correction is to find a bright star and focus in and out and see how much colour there is in the in and out of focus images.

because I didn't use the EPs that came with the scope I borrowed Alan's series 4000 26mm Eyepiece - I do suggest that it was the EP to a large extent. I deliberately took jupiter at 30seconds just so as to see any colour in the spikes and how it handles bright objects. I am happy with it and consider this the bargain of the century
I rate the scope 10/10 for value
