Moments before sunset on June 17 2020, a high quality odd-radius plate display with bright and vivid 28° arcs was documented by multiple observers in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, China.

Annotated version as follows:

The intensity of the display rivals the 2016 Chengdu display as the 28° arcs stand out even in smartphone photos above. 20°, 24° and 35° plate arcs in the photos are also quite well defined.

Unfortunately, like previous displays, no other exotic arcs are found in the photos we received from the community.

Now that we have a great and early start of the season, let's hope for more great stuff to come.

Odd Radius Display, Southern Ohio, USA, 17th August 2019

On the evening of Saturday, 17th August 2019, I observed this complex pyramidal halo display. In total, I saw a faint 9d halo, lower 9d plate arc, bright 18d plate arc, 18d halo, upper and lower 24d plate arcs and a weak upper 23d plate arc. This display is very similar to the one I captured in 2017, the only difference being the one in 2017 the lower 9d plate arc was bright and colorful and in the present display it was weak.
