Lunar Halo

[simon84]

Took these images last night at about 11:30pm after returning from collecting my father in law from his car crash, he's ok but the car has fallen victim to an idiot who didnt know how to drive in adverse weather conditions. When I got out of the car I had a quick look up and saw the halo so thought I'd have a go at imaging it.

Canon EOS 1000D tripod mounted with the Canon EF 20mm USM, 7 frames at 4 seconds, ISO 800 with lens stepped down to f4.

Stitched in ICE and processed in CS5.

The final image is 53 degrees across and vertically is 110 degrees.

Tried to get it without burning the moon out but the halo wouldnt play ball.

Last night on my way home from work, the Moon was haloing against some beach style ripple clouds, by the time i got the camera out they had lost there shape. it looked really cool.
