chromatic aberration help

[astro man]

Hi guys the last couple of nights when I have been observing Jupiter I see colours round the edge of the planet. Now I assume this is caused by chromatic aberration

However if someone could explain to me why this happens is it a fault with my eyepieces and what can I do to help prevent it from happening that would be great.

In case you want to know my setup

Revelation 8 

4,10,25,40mm orbiner plssol eyepieces 

Thanks guys

Probably more likely to be the effect of atmospheric dispersion than th EP's , when objects are low in the sky the atmosphere plays havoc in many ways ...

Hi steve

Thanks for getting back so quickly (record timing I think !)

I am glad its not a fault in my eyepieces as I spent a lot of time and money building up my set

thanks again

Hi Astro Man, you shouldn't get CA in a reflector, as Steve says, probably the atmosphere.  I have noticed that the 'seeing' has been poor for quite a few days now, it's just one of those things.

eyepieces can create chromatic aberration (even good ones) but in your case I agree with Steve, it's more likely to be the atmosphere that's misbehaving.
