There's no aberration with the main MIRROR of the telescope, because light doesn't go through the mirror. A reflecting telescope will have SOME chromatic aberration, because every reflecting telescope has at least one refracting lens; the eyepiece. Light goes THROUGH that lens, and light passing through the glass lens will generate some chromatic aberration.
a cheap refracting telescope with a simple lens system. Chromatic aberration occurs when different colors of light focus at different points, and low light-gathering power could be due to a smaller aperture size.
A reflecting telescope gathers light with a mirror instead of a lens. The mirror reflects light to a focus point where the image is formed. This design eliminates chromatic aberration that can occur with lenses.
The most chromatic aberration would occur with a single-lens refractor. However, today most telescopes employ at least two lenses, called achromats. These still incur significant chromatic aberration if the telescope has a short focal length to aperture ratio, called focal ratio. An easy way to determine if the telescope will have significant chromatic aberration is to divide the focal ratio of the telescope by the diameter of the lens in inches. A value of 5 or higher indicates minimal chromatic aberration; 3 to 5 is moderate aberration, and 3 and under is significant chromatic aberration. However, chromatic aberration is generally only obvious on bright stars or planets.
There were many inventors that had ideas and even drawn out ideas on building a telescopes that used mirrors instead of lenses, but here are a few:Galileo, Giovanni, and Francesco Sagredo (with others, talked about this idea)Cesare Caravaggi (reported to have built one)Niccolò Zucchi (again reported to have built one)James Gregory (most notable, but had no working models)Robert Hooke (built a working model)Isaac Newton (generally credited with constructing the first practical reflecting telescope)Hence, most would credit Isaac Newton for building the first practical reflecting telescope.
Isaac Newton improved the first refracting telescope by designing a reflecting telescope, known as the Newtonian telescope. He replaced the eyepiece of the refracting telescope with a curved mirror to eliminate chromatic aberration, resulting in a sharper image with less distortion. This design laid the foundation for future advancements in telescope technology.
A reflecting telescope uses mirrors while refracting telescopes uses lens. The refracting telescope also had chromatic aberration and bad resolution while the reflecting telescope had none of these.

Chromatic aberration refers to the inability of a lense to focus all the wavelengths of light to the same point. Because of this, the images in a telescope will be less acurate and less focused. A large telescope with a huge aperture but very bad chromatic aberration would not be of much use to a scientist or even an amatuer astronomer because of these limitations.

A reflecting telescope should have a parabolic mirror in which case there is no spherical aberration. The process of turning a spherical mirror surface into a parabolic one is called 'figuring'.

Sir Isaac Newton is credited with inventing the first practical reflecting telescope, which used a concave mirror as the primary optical element instead of a lens. This design helped to minimize chromatic aberration, a common issue associated with traditional refracting telescopes that used lenses.

To remove chromatic aberration in Photoshop CC, go to the "Filter" menu, select "Lens Correction," and then click on the "Custom" tab. From there, adjust the "Remove Chromatic Aberration" sliders until the aberration is minimized or eliminated.
Chromatic aberration can be a problem for astronomers using refracting telescopes and camera lenses, as it can cause color fringing and reduce the image quality by not focusing all colors to the same point. Reflecting telescopes, which use mirrors instead of lenses, do not have this issue.
