T_Dog Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Just went outside and checked and no joy here in Mae Taeng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudhopper Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 It looks like a rainbow encircling the sun. This one had the biggest diameter I've ever seen. The smaller grey ones around the moon are far more common, but they are both caused by high altitude ice crystals that don't form easily in the tropics I guess. Sorry no photo - I don't think I would want to aim a camera directly at the sun anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pond Life Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Saw a good one in Bkk once. Did you get a pic ? A bit difficult without a strong filter I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangcoral Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) it was taken 45 mins ago, not exactly a full sun dog but I can only get a pic when the clouds covered it partially. Edited May 28, 2014 by tangcoral 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBSAILOR Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I saw a beautiful one in BKK in 1981. sun overhead, surrounded by halos, and then 8 small suns all around the horizon, each with halos. everyone just stared with their mouths open.... WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiWx Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 it was taken 45 mins ago, not exactly a full sun dog but I can only get a pic when the clouds covered it partially. That's a nice shot of an Iridescent cloud! I saw some a couple years ago over the Doi Suthep hills but only had my cell phone camera so it didn't come out as well as yours.
