Uh, never realized that gravitational lensing was stronger for higher frequencies ... is that a fact? Any reference?

[EDIT]: the formula on page 4 of the book below does not seem to have a frequency parameter ...

Also, they seem to consider that objects worth looking at are at infinity, which is why there is a well-defined focal distance from the sun.

What seems to involve frequency is that the gain of the lens varies (same book, page 9).

Oops my bad, thought this was a comment under another thread discussing terrestrial lensing which uses Earth's atmosphere, not gravitational lensing. Disregard!
