Hey Everybody

Long time since my last entry, I apologize, this one however is cool.

The other night I was sitting around relaxing and I got an email from a friend telling me about an celestial event called a "moon halo", I had no clue what this was so I went to google and checked out what he was referring to.

Wikipedia defines it as

"an optical phenomenon produced by ice crystals creating colored or white arcs and spots in the sky. Many are near the sun or moon but others are elsewhere and even in the opposite part of the sky."

So after reading this I go out and take a look in the sky, this thing is huge to give you a scale, I looked up at the moon and with my hands I placed them side by side starting at the moon ending at the ring, I got 3.5 hands across.

So I grabbed my gear and drove to the edge of the city, the clouds were out and with all the light pollution I was not sure what I was going to get.

I set up and right away I could see a faint ring around the moon, a few adjustments later I got it. I changed up some angles and made some changes to where I was located but it came out great.

Take a Look.
