Still I love my 150mm refractor and I am used to the violet fringing.
I will include a pic of a bright moon done with the Achromat, -V filter.
Keep in mind a Newtonian is a masive bang for your buck and are totaly color free. I also have a 12" dob thats awesome.
David,

I'm assuming it's the Skywatcher 150mm achro you have. Can you tell me please, is there a perceptible difference when viewing the moon and planets through the refractor versus the dob. I understand they're very different sizes so it may be difficult to make a comparison. But I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Cheers
