Many thanks This is really great to know, had a quick look at the product, wow quite impressive. I know I use a DOB but to have such a variable magnitude is awesome in it own right. It will take some time to get the mullah together but it does seem to be the answer.
My optics are good (not perfect), but for CA as seen from the link to the moon done without a barlow the only color issue with that is a distorted CCD from excessive stress.

That is also good advise, unconditionally a lot of my Deepsky is done show green in focus, plus this was also imaged before I purchased the remote focuser so the focus is rough. I am going to go through a lot of my images one at a time and replace them where necessary although Jupiter images are not going to be easy to deal with.
The post was really to help with some aspect of imaging and already the additions will be of great benefit.

I think if I am going to do detail imagery I would still go for mono CCD camera and LRGB filtering so that all the pixel are covered by all colours.
