Moon Halo

[Mandy D]

After reading @Nikolai De Silva's topic A Strange Ring Around the Moon, I went outside to take a look and it really was quite incredible, so I decided to photograph it. Not having much success from home due to lighting and unattractive foreground elements, I decided to wander up to the local church and see if I could get it's spire into frame with the Moon and halo in the background. Next to the Moon is Jupiter and above the spire we have a star.

Nikon D800, 14 mm f/2.8 prime lens, tripod and remote shutter release.

f/2.8, 12.1 sec, ISO-400

The exposure time is a bit bizarre and I have no idea how that happened as the camera was set to 13 seconds. Editing in GIMP. I think the processing could be improved a bit, especially in the deep shadow at the base of the Spire.

It's only half a halo up here in Cumbrishire.

No chance of seeing an aurora so settle for this:
