Default Chromatic Aberration

http://upload.pbase.com/image/48689707.jpg

Shows the result of photographing Venus with an "ultrazoom" digital camera.
Venus was about ten degrees above the horizon.

Could the effect show be caused by atmospheric refraction, or is it more
likely to be a deficiency in the camera lens?

Sorry if I wasted anyone's time. Exposures with a tripod tonight convince
me that whatever was goimg on, it wasn't atmospheric refraction. (;^(
