Hallo,

Das Halospiel ging bis zum Sonnenuntergang weiter. Die Erscheinungen waren nicht selten, dafür aber intensiv.
Besonders die Nebensonnen können einen doch immer wieder faszinieren:



Mehr Bilder dann morgen...

Gruß,

Tolles Bild! Links mit Lowitzbogen? *o.T.*

Benjamin,

That is a fine lowitz arcs display! I looked ver closely and I can see very clearly both upper and lower lowitz arcs and faint circular component.

Congrads on a nice display!

Theres nothing going on in the USA except record numbers of tornadoes and a very spectacular flash flood that was generated by a supercell thunderstorm.

Best,
Michael

You mean, that there is a upper lowitz arc ( http://www.meteoros.de/arten/ee14c.htm ) visible??
Is the faint halo the 22-halo or is that a lowitz arc??

Hallo,

der Lowitzbogen müßte direkt von den Nebensonnen weggehen. Da er aber zusätzlich zum Ring zu sehen ist, würde ich das Bild mit 22°-Ring, beiden Nebensonnen und linken Lowitzbogen beschreiben. Oben sehe ich gar nichts, was aber auch an unserem dunklen Bildschirm liegen kann.

Viele Grüße

Benjamin,

Yes that is upper lowitz for sure and to tell between that and 22 degree halo is by looking for 22 degree halo inside parhelion, if the circular halo is faint or absent the arcs are lowitz arc and in fact sometimes the entire 22 degree halo will be "made" from lowitz arcs. The circular arc is faint and tails off faintly from below and outside the upper arc.

Best,
Michael
