During the last days series of reasonable displays developed over Southern Finland. Three of them were in moonlight and one in sunlight. Elliptical halo, 9° and 18° halos and Parry arc were observed. See photos and drawings here.
The picture on the left shows the halo development in Tampere on the night of 14/15 March. Among common halos, faint 9° halo and Parry arc are also present.

It's a really impressive moon display. We Germans live current in dire (heavenly) halo poverty. It's wunderful to see such halos at least in pictures!

ReplyDeleteImpressive display Jari, Last halo I got was a moon halo like yours but it did not have parry or the 9d halo but it did have an impressive CZA. I got two impressive displays on the 24th and the 25th of september in 2004 when my brother and I were camping and they both had parry arcs and one had an almost complete parhelic circle.
