The chromatic aberration is bugging me too. I think it's mostly from the eyepiece (based on visual observation of the moon) but it could be some from the camera too. Scopetronix has promised to check out the eyepiece for me if I send it back but I haven't gotten around to it.

Thats a combo telescope...hmmm... I'd always wanted to try one of those.
The photo resembled my memories of Saturn through a 700mm pfl/4.5mm refractor sans chroma.
I had chroma problems too....not as bad as you've experienced and mostly with my 12mm ocular. It was a compound ocular that I later reconfigured for grater field of vision and less chromatic distortion. I think the lense had been assembled incorrectly at the factory.
Have you considered a 2X or 3X barlowe lense?
