Very spectacular halo display

[Michael Ellestad]

Hallo,

Today I saw a very nice halo display that had the following halos which were not all seen at once:

22d halo
22d parhelia
parhelic circle
120d parhelia
upper tangent arc
infralateral arcs
supralateral arc
circumzenith arc
and a nice parry arc

Around 5:24 PM was when it reached its peak and at that time I saw an intense and wide curving tangent arc a fragment of parhelic circle, a nice suncave parry arc, a colorful supralateral arc and an intense circumzenith arc. I took a lot of photos and almost filled my camera's memory card.

The halos I liked best in the display were the tangent arc, parry arc, supralateral arc, and circumzenith arc.

If anyone wants to see the photos email me and I will send photos to those who want to see them.

Best,
Michael

Michael,

Really nice pics!!
The first one is my favourit, but I think the fragment under the circumcenital arc looks like an 46d halo.
Please send my all of your pictures.

Andre,

I am glad you posted my photos because I can't do it because of my provider if the forum were set up so you could "upload" images to the message as you would an email I would do it but since I can't do it I can always alert you and the other observors that I saw something very spectacular. I hope to see some more like that and hopefully I will see supralateral and infralateral arcs with intense and bright colors. One thing I want for my birthday when I turn 21 on March 29th is a spectacular halo display to photograph.

Best,
Michael
