Moon pyramidal halo complex in Czech Republic


In June when conditions for observing halos aren’t fine because of low full moon elevation, I have had my best observation ever. On cirrostratus veil divided from cumulonimbus cloud firstly appeared 9° halo and later thick halo at 22-24 area. After stacking 20 pictures, it turned out to be 23° and 24° halo. Fragments of 20° halo were not recognizable until stacking photos. Halos were seen at the highest intensity for about half an hour.

  1. This looks to me more like a 22+24. There is little bit of a dark stripe in that broad halo. 22+23 are too close to be separated.

  2. What was the date of the halo?
    In last June, the moon was full at the very beginning and end of the month.
