Astroegg Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I venture out just before midnight to walk off a few fabulous ales I've had and make sure the dog gets a last trot out before bed, then I see a halo around the Moon, but not like a halo I've often seen before - this is a wee little fellow barely half the diameter of what I'm used to. Is this a thing? A certain ice Crystal configuration that causes it? Rare Or am I just hopeful? Should I have had less ale ? I took many pictures on my phone, at several variations of ISO and exposure timings, even propping myself up against a bin for a tripod - none of which do Such a wonderful scene and beautiful phenomena justice ? Can anyone enlighten me as to whether I was really seeing a Moon halo and if so, is it uncommon at such a small size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIDO Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Always nice to see, I had a good large halo here last night so big it stretched clear out to the Orion complex wich were the only stars viewable as cloud surrounded the whole scene beautiful as it was. Tonight is a downpour as the weather system is now overhead, that halo and Orion are still etched in my mind though just like some song gets stuck there sometimes. I have seen some very small halo's and even a double many years back so you likely did see one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
