check out this refraction in which theres no cromatic aberration



cromatic aberration or rainbow efect is just a minor part of refraction

the main problem with refraction is it moves stars, it has to be taken into acount with celestial navigation and it grows as stars get close to the horizon

in other words the rainbow effect caused by the atmosphere refracting starlight is neglible compared with the change of position of the star caused by that refraction
