Thanks for bringing up this interesting topic.
As the inventor of a prismatic stereoscope, I would like to
give my two cents worth about chromatic aberration.  But
before I do, I'm wondering if a few people would be willing
to send me some digital images which illustrate the problem
of chromatic aberration.  I would like to post them on my
website as part of an educational article.  Of course, full credits
will be given to the artist/s.

If possible, I would  like image sizes of about 420 pixels wide
for each image of the pair.  Also I would like jpg images, but
not severely compressed.

Thanks in advance!
