Achromatic refractors - filter

I do not know where to begin..
I have a Meade 14" LX 200 UHTC GPS telescope which is quite heavy to move around.. It now sits on a permanent pier on my roof and it's a great scope.
I just want to go to star parties and cannot take that 14" with me so I'm planning to buy a 2nd scope to move around with, and I since my budget is limited, I was thinking about the Celestron C6R with the CG5 mount, sturdy for viewing and some astrophotography....But since the achromatic refractors all have somekind of false color, is there a filter you can buy that can be screwed on the front lens to minimize this color problem with refractors ??
I really do want an apo-chromatic refractor but can not afford it .. Thanks for emailing me some suggestions.
