  1. Ice Halos by Moonlight

    An almost full moon on April 15 brought these luminous apparitions to a northern spring night over Alberta Canada. On that night, bright moonlight refracted and reflected by hexagonal ice crystals in high clouds created a complex of halos and arcs more commonly seen by sunlight in daytime skies.

  2. I saw two solar halo phenomena in high clouds but I only managed to cap one. I think it's a 46° halo, but they're rare so maybe it's a colourless infralateral arc?
    I've already capped double sundogs and a weak 22° halo this year so I'm on a roll.

  6. Thrilled to have this sighting of an #IceHalo, #CircumhorizontalArc, at the French River Delta, Key River, #GeorgianBay #Ontario Canada.The bright spectrum colored band, parallel to the horizon, is a refraction of the sun on the ice crystals in the cirrus or cirrostratus clouds when the sun is at its highest which was at 12:00 noon.

  12. Faint lunar #22DegreeHalo at 22:50 UT on 31st January 2023. Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a Canon 1100D + Canon 10-18mm wide angled lens. It was only visible for a short time then the band of thin cloud moved away #AtmsophericOptics #IceHalo #LunarHalo #MoonHalo
