Tywais Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Nice one Goshawk. I don't think I've ever seen one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Took this one a couple of years back (used the coconut tree as solar filter): Also saw many Moon 22° halos in the South, but difficult to capture on camera.

vagabond48 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I saw one about 4 years ago on the road from Chiang Rai to Mae Sai. I was doing a visa run by bicycle so I had a great view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how much more you notice on a bicycle compared to driving. btw if I did a visa run on my bicycle, by the time I got home it would be time to start off for another 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goshawk Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Nice one Goshawk. I don't think I've ever seen one myself. photographed from Hang Dong 11am 'ish.. although i imagine it would've been pretty much visible throughout the province. (i wouldn't have noticed it myself until Mrs G's sister pointed skyward & asked me, what's with the sun? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiniyeow Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 The effect is from ice crystals in the atmosphere reflecting the light just like a rainbow, (which are circles if seen from the air and not the ground). Nice pics, thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
