Spotted a nice multicoloured sundog 22* to the east of the sun and 5* in height. As the sun dropped to the west a nice faint white 5* high solar pillar appeared. As the sun dropped below the horizon it grew to 10* in height and was a lovely thin golden spike. It remained visible for a long time afterwards and turned a nice red colour and finally reached 15* in height! It was a truely lovely sight! I could see the pillar drifting slowly with time towards the north marking the suns movement below the horizon which was really cool!!!

coruscations attending the whole length of the luminosity, giving to the phenomena the aspect of a wrathful messenger, and not that of a tranquil body pursuing a harmless course..comet of 1680
